The Boda-Boda Boom - Part Two

Alan Kasujja meets the start-ups in Kampala trying to make the boda-boda - motorcycle taxi - a safer industry, and the Kampala authorities and traffic police trying to regulate it

Alan Kasujja meets the start-ups in Kampala which are trying to turn the industry around by making it safer and enabling riders to increase their profit margins. He speaks to the Kampala City Authorities and the city's Traffic Police to find out whether it is possible to control this sprawling industry, and whether there are other means of employment for the riders. He also meets Kampala's only female boda-boda rider and explores the political pressures on this hugely lucrative but unregulated industry.
