Kampala, notorious for being a jam-prone city, is about to get a new transport system set to decongest the area.
Ugandan State Minister for Transport, Aggrey Bagaiire, on Saturday announced that his government will be implementing a new Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) concept.
“I have seen how this project works and I am very impressed. It is not the question of whether we are going to think about it, we are going to implement it immediately,” said Minister Bagiire.
Bagiire made the announcement after visiting the Dar es Salaam Rapid Transport (DART) project, which has largely improved transport services in the Tanzania commercial capital.
The Minister took time to visit the project after successfully concluding the signing of the MOU with the Tanzanian government on the improvement of the railway and inland waterways transport route from Dar es Salaam Port to Kampala via Mwanza Port.
The Minister with his delegation got a glimpse of how the transport service might work by boarding one of the buses and cruise from Ferry bus terminal to Morocco terminal. He was accompanied by Tanzania Permanent Secretary for Transport Dr Leonard Chamriho and other high-ranking officials.
