EBX SET TO LAUNCH ELECTRIC BUS SERVICES IN KIIRA MUNICIPALITY

E-Bus Xpress Kiira Ltd (EBX) is set to expand its eco-friendly public mass transport network into Kira Municipality. Launching this August 28th, 2026, a planned fleet of 15 locally developed Kayoola Electric Buses will roll out to deliver safe, scheduled, and reliable transit across the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.

The new service will connect growing residential communities to Ntinda Hub and Kampala, with three dedicated feeder routes:

1. Ntinda – Najjera – Kira – Kitukutwe – Kiwologoma – Nakwero

2. Ntinda – Naalya – Kyaliwajjala – Namugongo – Sonde

3. Ntinda – Kisasi – Kyanja – Kungu

Each route will have 5 buses connecting passengers with scheduled services, air conditioned buses, onboard Wi-Fi, modern safety features and cashless payments.

Fares will start from just UGX 800 for adults and UGX 400 for students, depending on the distance travelled.

For students, the School Cashless Days Campaign will introduce smart digital wristbands for quick and convenient fare payments. No cash will be accepted onboard.

With zero emission electric buses, EBX is bringing a cleaner and more convenient transport option closer to communities while supporting better connections across the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.

Why govt’s cheaper e-buses are struggling to win over Kampalans

Whereas the “romantic” buses continue to attract curious glances from commuters along the roads and at bus stops, many passengers still ignore calls to board them.

Given the punctuality and cheaper fares, one would expect the buses to attract more passengers, but that has not yet happened.

Indeed, the buses are comfortable and appealing enough for passengers who would prefer to work while in transit. The free Wi-Fi provided by MTN Uganda oscillates between 3 Mbps and 15 Mbps – not particularly quick, but sufficient for basic work and browsing.

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.

So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.

As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.

To convince some of the most influential people to travel to Kasese, start running in the dark whilst sipping some beer & talking business, social, economic & political issues amidst all the sweating & health benefits is commendable. Kudos Tourism connoisseur, @wekesa_amos & team
