The Boltzmann equation is solved in the relaxation time approximation using a hierarchy of angular moments of the distribution function. Our solution is obtained for an azimuthally symmetric radially expanding boost-invariant conformal system that is undergoing Gubser flow. The solution of moments that we get after truncating the infinite set of equations at various orders is compared to the exact kinetic solution. The dynamics of transition is described by the presence of fixed points which describes the evolution of the system from an early time collisionless free streaming to the hydrodynamic regime at intermediate times and back to free streaming at late times. The attractor solution is found for various orders of moments as an interpolation between these fixed points. The relation of moments to various approximations of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics is investigated.
