“We must appreciate where the Boda Boda comes from, how this whole phenomenon grew. You have a population, we just went through a national population housing census… up to 72% are young people below the age of 35, so you have quite a large number of people that are young, who can’t find jobs to do – whether in the public sector or the private sector and they do not have significant alternative income to get into other enterprises. So the motorcycle becomes an easy thing. But number two, especially in Uganda’s urban areas where you don’t have organised public transport, you don’t have buses, you don’t have trains, you don’t have trams, the motorcycle becomes the most convenient way to move around.”

“The thing which causes accidents is the police, when you reach the traffic light someone just comes and grab your keys so that’s why boda boda, we just pass, we just break that rule. Sometimes others they use one way so there you can be safe, also there you are safe so you can keep your money, small money which you have got but if they arrest you, that money which you have worked, like 20 or 30, they take it. So that’s why people start to escape away from police and traffic lights and sometimes the road, also the road is not good.”
