Go to the main interstate motor park in Yola. The Jimeta Modern Market motor park or other major parks known for routes towards Gombe/Bauchi are your best bet. Ask for vehicles going to Kaltungo or Gombe.
Book your seat directly with a transport company or a shared taxi (Sienna/Hiace) driver. Confirm the destination and fare before boarding. Vehicles typically depart when full.
The journey will start from Yola, heading out of town via Modibbo Adama Way, then connecting to the Ganye - Jimeta Federal Road.

Expect security checkpoints along the route. Have your ID ready (if requested) and cooperate with officials. Road conditions are generally fair to good on federal roads, but expect some rough patches or potholes.
You will arrive at the main motor park or a designated drop-off point in Kaltungo. From there, you can take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a motorcycle taxi ('Okada') to your final destination within Kaltungo.
