Last week I was astonished, when I arrived at the Bus Park and could not travel for the price I used to previously. There was an additional five thousand shillings, I was meant to add, according to the adjustment. Having made an inquiry, I was let to know that all this was attributed to the Fuel Tax.<\/p>\n

In a meeting of the executive committee of the United Bus Owners Association (UBOA) at their offices in Kampala, it was decided that all companies will effect a uniform increment of Shs5,000 for those traveling from Kampala to other destinations around the country.<\/p>\n

So for all those planning to move around this month, Carry that extra cash in your pocket.<\/p>\n
