Culture Note The most common means of public transport in Uganda are taxis. They are mini buses and they go virtually everywhere. Buses can also be found but they travel only long distances. On short distances, especially within cities and villages there operate the so called boda bodas, or bikes for hire. The fee (for taxis) is typically paid at the end of the journey, not the beginning. You cannot bargain for the fee. It is recommended to find out the prices before travelling.

Safety and Security Note

Transportation-related incidents present the greatest risk to Volunteer safety and security, therefore it is essential that you make the best possible choices about transportation methods, routes and times.

You should always keep an eye on your belongings as thieves like to target people on public transportation.

It is very important that you do not accept ANY food or drink when traveling on public transport. There have been cases of people being drugged and robbed when riding on buses and taxis.

Remember that you are not allowed to ride on motorcycle boda bodas and you must always wear a helmet when riding on a bicycle boda boda.
