Rwanda to Stop Registering Petrol-Driven Taxis in 2025 

Rwanda will no longer register petrol -driven motorbike taxis from the New Year as it seeks to 

transition towards electric vehicles.  

The goal, according to the Minister of Infrastructure Jimmy Gasore, is to promote the use of cleaner, 

more efficient energy and reduce gas emissions.  

The new rule will only apply in the capital Kigali and to motorbikes used as taxis; the dominant form of 

public transport.  

The ministry of Infrastructure estimates there are some 110,000 motorbikes in Rwanda, including 

30,000 in Kigali, of which 70,000 are used as taxis.
