BasiGo flags off first Electric Buses in Kigali
We are honored to have had Ms. Keisha Effiom, Deputy Mission Director USAID Mission to Rwanda and Burundi as Chief Guest at the launch of our Electric Buses into passenger pilot operations in Kigali on Monday! While flagging off the buses, Ms. Keisha delivered great remarks on behalf of the US Government and the USAID Mission, where she recognised our E-Buses as a beacon of responsibility and hope for cleaner and greener streets for the future generations. Plus, she drove the bus!!
We are grateful to USAID Rwanda’s support as one of our partners who made this pilot launch possible. Recently USAID awarded BasiGo a USD 1.5 million grant to scale green public transport in Rwanda, which directly supports our electric bus pilot programme.
Our first two E-buses are now in operation with Kigali Bus Service and Volcano plying routes in Zone 1 and Zone 2. We are proud to hashtag#TakeTheLead in creating a sustainable, inclusive public transport ecosystem in Rwanda BasiGo is committed to delivering 200 state-of-the-art e-buses to Rwanda by 2025.
