Project background:
The transport sector is one of the key engines of growth in an economy. Improving the quality and reliability of transport infrastructure and services is a major building block for reducing transport costs, attracting domestic and foreign investment, and expanding access to economic opportunities. The rapid growth of the urban population, low incomes, and inequalities in the provision of urban transport are some of the leading underlying causes of transport problems in developing cities like Kigali. According to (RURA,2022), the fleet used by licensed public transport bus and minibus companies and cooperatives decreased by 2.1%, the fleet owned by licensed school bus companies and cooperatives, and car rental companies and cooperatives increased by 21.5% and 11.0% respectively compared to Q1 2022. Lastly, the fleets for licensed taxi cabs companies and cooperatives also increased by 6.6%.and also During the second quarter of 2022, 15,864 authorized motorcycles were operating in the City of Kigali followed by Southern Province with 2,671 commercial motorcycles. but all those integrations have not changed the overpopulation who are using the bus transport and the problems they meet with.
The project addresses the challenges faced by passengers due to inadequate transportation services, including issues with unknown bus locations, fluctuating prices, and time wasted on ticket purchases. The goal is to create a system that offers convenient access to company services, enabling passengers to plan their schedules efficiently.
Transport companies are also included in the project to enhance the movement of goods and people through effective route planning, optimal resource allocation, and compliance with regulations. The focus is on improving the overall transportation experience for passengers and optimizing operations for transport companies.
