I have never commented on an article ever (and I am not young). I've have watched in dismay over the past 3 decades as the transportation situation in my beloved city where I grew up deteriorated, for various reasons. However, all said and done, the worst addition to the scene has been boda bodas. The boda boda's in Kampala are a menace, a health hazard, an eye sore, not to mention the people who get maimed every day! After having recently returned from Accra, where these motorcyles for hire are bannned, the sharp contrast with Kampala and the relief their absence makes on public transportation cannot be over estimated. These little killer machines should be put off the Kampala streets. In their absence, an innovation for better means that serve a similar purpose will definately kick in. Take a trip to Dar es Salaam and see for yourself how a fellow East African country has addressed the problem to the betterment of their city and peri-urban areas!

Oh Uganda, come on, we can be better!
