Decades of Connecting Northern Nigeria’s Commercial Capital.
From historic trans-Saharan trade routes to modern inter-state expressways, movement has always defined Kano’s vitality. KanoLine carries that public mandate forward for a new generation.
From Counter Ledgers to Digital Mobility.
Established to guarantee dependable, state-backed road transit for citizens, the Kano State Transport Authority became known across Nigeria simply as KanoLine.
Over the decades, green-and-white KanoLine buses linked families, merchants, civil servants, and students between Kano and major regional capitals. Today, that trusted public service has been re-engineered with modern fleet standards and unified digital operations.
Built for Every Citizen
Whether booking from a smartphone at home, through an accredited agent, or at a station counter, every passenger receives the same official seat guarantee.
Creation of State Public Road Transit
Recognizing Kano’s role as the commercial nerve center of Northern Nigeria, the state established dedicated public bus operations to provide safe, regulated inter-city and intra-state transport at fair civic tariffs.

From the flagship Kano Line Terminus along Zaria Road, regular coach corridors connected Kano with Kaduna, Abuja, Katsina, Bauchi, Jigawa, Maiduguri, Jos, and southern commercial hubs.
