The document is needed
The goal is to regulate the public service motorcycles (boda bodas) as well as to improve the efficiency of the bodabodas of Uganda.
Information that can be useful
- Boda-Boda services can be chaotic (to the point that they are frequently viewed as a threat) due to an absence of clear enforcers of operating regulations and a high standard of service delivery.
- Insufficient regulation of the industry makes it hard to regulate the activities and, consequently, lessen undesirable behavior of Boda-Bodas and accidents, as well as reduce the amount of unlicensed drivers.
- Despite being seen in many circles as a threat many people still use the Boda-Boda services and take rides on them as they offer distinct services.
- The majority of passengers and operators don’t have health insurance. Insurance companies consider them to be high risk and hesitate to cover the operators as well as their passengers.
