Kaduna to Launch Free Bus Service for Civil Servants, Students.
The Kaduna State Government has announced that a free bus service for civil servants, retirees, and students will begin on Monday under its Subsidised Transport Scheme (KSTS).
According to a statement from Inuwa Ibrahim, Director-General of the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Authority (KADSTRA), the service will run daily for an initial period of six months. The initiative aims to reduce the transportation burden on key groups, including students in both public and private schools at all levels.
The programme is part of Governor Uba Sani’s broader effort to reduce the cost of living for Kaduna residents. After the six-month free period, a 60% subsidy on fares will be introduced for the general public.
Ibrahim stated that the service would follow strict protocols to ensure orderly and secure operations. Civil servants will need to show a valid staff ID and a corresponding National Identification Number (NIN) to access the buses. Students must wear full school uniforms, and verified personnel from recognized security agencies will also be eligible.
The buses will run along three main routes:
Route One: Rigachikun Kawo Market Sabo Sabo Market Kawo back to Rigachikun
Route Two: Rigachikun Kawo Independence Way Yakowa Road return
Route Three: Tudun Wada Polytechnic Road Sokoto Road Kawo and back
Commuters are urged to board in an orderly manner and avoid pushing or skipping queues. The transport authority emphasized that law and order will be strictly enforced during operations.
This development follows the June 19, 2025, commissioning of 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses by President Bola Tinubu during his visit to Kaduna.
