One Year Later, Has Ritco Delivered?

 

Rwanda Interlink Transport Company (Ritco) Limited, a public transport company that replaced the liquidated Onatracom says it has got a formula to re-connect ‘isolated’ communities to Kigali.

Last week, February 6th, Ritco blew the first candle to mark one year anniversary after they replaced the liquidated Office Nationale de Transport en Commun (Onatracom).

The latter, a public transport company served the rural communities fairly until 2000s when it gradually caused huge losses to government.

Onatracom was liquidated in 2015, and was replaced the following year by Ritco, which is already pledging to give the community what the previous operator failed to do in decades.

Visiting Ritco, which is using the same facility – building and parking of the previous operator at Biryogo – Nyarugenge district, you are welcomed by a few brand new buses –Youtong brand 58-62 seater made in Korea, and some old buses with Onatracom colours now out of use.
