Public taxi |
Sitting arrangement in buses |
Public transport and taxi service resumed Thursday in Uganda, nearly three months after they were halted to control the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. New restrictions and regulations, mainly on taxis, however, have left many Kampala residents without a ride.

Tempers grew short Thursday at a Kampala taxi park as drivers, passengers and security personnel dealt with the new restrictions.
More reading on this available here:
Some districts that borders other neighboring countries are still in the limbo, no public transport is allowed to operate, only private cars are being allowed to move. Kasese District where i come from is a victim of this. People who want to move to their villages cant move and can only do so with a request for person from the area Resident District Commissioner who is a representative of the President of Uganda in the area.

All public transport taxis and buses taking the Kasese route end up in Rwimi. Its a disgrace as to why public transport cant be allowed to reach border districts since we are already living with Covid19 as we work.
There has been easing on the lockdown as most businesses are now open and operational as they also keep in place observance of Covid19 preventive measures and physical distance.
