Sobre esta Trap
Moto and taxi fares in Kigali are not fixed, so the price is whatever you agree before you set off. Say your destination, name a landmark, and settle the amount before climbing on, rather than arguing at the end. Ride-hailing apps are recommended for visitors who do not know typical fares. Avoid public transport after dark, and confirm the fare with any driver before leaving.
