The United Boda Boda Cooperative Union has unveiled a mobile application designed to improve safety and security for boda boda riders, passengers, and the general public.
The application features a user-friendly interface that allows both riders and passengers to report suspicious activity in real time, enabling swift police response.
It also includes an emergency button that instantly alerts the police in cases of insecurity.
Additionally, the app provides trip monitoring features that track both riders and passengers during journeys.
One of its key innovations is its ability to help identify and flag suspicious luggage, which has increasingly become a security concern in the sector.
Unlike many other ride-hailing platforms, the Boda Boda Union App offers coverage across the entire country, not just within Kampala.
With over 1.2 million boda boda riders and about 150,000 registered stages nationwide, the industry plays a vital role in Uganda’s transportation system.
