Bus Operators Hike Transport Fares from Kampala, Uganda

Due to the day to day increase of the fuel rates in Uganda, bus operators are also taking a step to hike the prices for transport from Kampala city to other parts of the country.

Mr. Solomon Nsimire, the acting chairperson of the united bus owners association said that this is hard to avoid because they can’t work in losses. Travelers have to bear with it and a decision is reached after a consultative meeting.

Several companies offer the service to customers who need to connect from the capital to various places in the western, northern or eastern region.

If you want to enjoy the service, don’t delay to visit one of the bus terminals in Kampala. Passengers congest these points especially in the festive season (December). For those who hate chaotic places, make sure to travel in the second week of December or use private means.

While in the city, try to be very alert and avoid crowded places. Thieves use this chance to target and steal people’s things like phones, hand bags, money and more. Listed below are the revised fares. There are expected to increase as the Christmas day nears.
