To UGANDA ???????? from Rwanda by Bus | Visit East Africa
Travelling from Rwanda to Uganda by bus is very easy and comfortable. It takes only 12 USD from Kigali to Kampala.
For most people in the region, travel by bus is the easiest and affordable way to make long journeys, travel by air is more a luxury than a necessity for many and since there is no railway travel in Rwanda the best way to connect Rwanda to rest of East Africa is by road transportation until standard railway tracks are extended to the country from Mombasa through Mombasa across the Uganda border through Kampala and on to Rwanda.
The route by road runs along what is known as the Central Transport Corridor and will be crossing into Tanzania at the just opened one stop common border point at Rusumo, where a few months ago a new bridge was opened too, both generously financed by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency JICA.
For long now long distance travel across East Africa has been done by bus. It is affordable for locals and there is quite the price competition among the different bus operating companies. Lately however, a few airlines are doing their best to give bus services a run for their money by lowering airline tickets for flights within the region. In Tanzania for example, the air tickets for domestic flights sell for as low as $20 including taxes, and tickets for flights across the region can go for $50. Kenya also has some low cost flight tickets that compete favourably with bus fares.

Kenya: Why Travellers Are Keeping Off Machakos Country Bus Terminal
Kenya: Why Travellers Are Keeping Off Machakos Country Bus Terminal
By Collins Omulo and Brian OkindaDeteriorating security and upsurge in crime at the Machakos Country Bus terminal in Nairobi's city centre has turned into a case of one man's loss being another's gain. Victims of the unruly and brutal bus agents who have had enough of the 'cartel-like group' have vowed never to use the traveling point. This decision, has been a blessing in disguise to the more organised and formal passenger service vehicles owners who have been making a killing as fed-up travell...
UN-Habitat - Accessible transport in Dar es Salaam & Nairobi
Nairobi, 18 October 2019 - African cities are growing fast but face severe levels of traffic congestion. In most cities, informal mini-bus operators provide public transport services which tend to be unreliable, unsafe and expensive. Women are often victims of harassment and people with disabilities are not able to easily access public transport. Poor quality foot paths, unsafe intersections, lack safe pedestrian crossings, poor signage and poorly lit streets add to the problems and make movement in cities unsafe and difficult particularly for vulnerable groups.
In a project titled “Access and Mobility: The implications of Universal Access on Groups in Vulnerable Situations in Nairobi”, UN-Habitat, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) and the National Gender and Equality Commission of Kenya (NGEC) are working towards the development of an inclusive transport system which is accessible to all including persons with disabilities. The project is helping to develop policy that makes vulnerable groups a priority and provides technical advice to make the soon-to-be implemented Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Nairobi accessible to all.
Several meetings with a diverse range of stakeholders including women groups, people with disabilities and other residents showed that universal access should be mainstreamed across all transport projects. The need for continuous walkways and dedicated cycle paths is key and the principles of “universal design” that meets the needs of all passengers is a “must” for stations and buses - what is good for people with disabilities is good for all.
The Bus Rapid Transit system in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, operational since 2016, showcases a best practice example of planning and designing for an accessible public transport system in the African region. Safe pedestrian access to the stations and at-level boarding of the buses ensures physical accessibility for mobility-constrained customers. Bus drivers are tasked to announce upcoming stations to ensure that visually impaired passengers can navigate the city easily. Tactile pavements on edges of BRT platforms warn blind people.

'My name is Becky and I’m a single mother of a son called Louis.
I longed to be a truck driver since I was a young girl.
This was because my dad was a truck driver.'
John Kinyua – Operations Manager East Africa: 'Becky is the first female truck driver in East Africa.'
Becky: 'I love my job – I drive my travellers or guests to national parks to see wildlife “Ok My Guests! In front of us we have white rhinos”
At first, men used to give me a hard time, I used to be very bullied. Every place that we go to, they will react'.
George Njau – Workshop Manager: 'First time I came here, I was so shocked to see a lady driving a truck. A lot of companies call me, they say: George – there’s a lady driving your vehicle. I said: Yeah. “how?” What do you mean how?. You saw her driving it. “Does she fix it?” I said yeah, she services the truck on the side of the road. She changes tyres. People think she’s supposed to be back in the village or in the house, cooking for her husband or cooking for her kids.'
Becky: 'They would even come and block me in the front. Like in Tanzania, they scream. Those ones would tell me: “Becky! You’re not supposed to be driving a truck, you’re a woman. Why should you! Can’t you go home and do something better? Maybe take care of your family. Anything to make me feel like I’m not supposed to do this.
There were some men who were like “I don’t think she should be in the truck that I’m in” That day, I think I cried half of the day, and I never had cried before. George is one of the person I will never forget. Because if it was not for his encouragement, then, I was to quit.'
George: 'Becky I been like “don’t lose hope. You’ll find challenges. People talk bad about you, but keep strong, and you’ll make it.”
Becky: 'Nakoudini Amini – Nakoudini Amini is believe in yourself.'
Workshop team: 'I was very new. So she helped me with some tips for the road. And I wished for her to carry me. Take me for a ride. And… it was awesome.'
'I think she drives it like she was born with it. She knows the truck inside out. She does what I can do. She’s one of us. She’s not different from anyone.'
Becky: 'I have been driving trucks for Intrepid for the last six years.'
George: 'Becky is very famous. The police know her, even the border. They see her, and they are like “Bring it”. She comes here in the office and everybody is chatting up with her. She has to run away: “I have work to do”. She’s part of our family, and we’re really proud of her.
My daughter, she loves Becky so much because she is driving trucks. She call her Aunty Becky. “One day I’d like to drive like Aunty Becky”. I say: “even you can drive if you want to, just have the courage, determination, and you’ll make it through”. People think she has triumphed. She has done what a lot of females do not accomplish.'
Becky: 'I just told her once: “Mum, do you know that I’m a truck driver?” “Oh my goodness!” she looks up and says: “I wish your dad can see you”.'
George: 'She has made a lot of companies think about employing female drivers now. So we’re looking forward to having a second lady driver, just all because of Becky. She encourages a lot of women now. A lot of women are looking to do driving.'
Becky: 'You say: “I’m a go-getter”. You’ll get it, you’ll get whatever you want.'
George: 'I’m proud to say that, we have the first female driver in East Africa, and that is Becky.'

STORYLINE:
Aid deliveries to Kenyan refugee camps are being hampered by the condition of many of the roads in the country.
Aid trucks cover thousands of kilometres (miles) taking food and other consignments from the port of Mombasa to refugee camps in other parts of the country as part of the World Food Program (WFP).
Thousands of people are now housed in camps following a prolonged drought that has effected more than 11 million people in East Africa.
Three-point-seven (m) million people in Somalia have been among the worst hit because of the ongoing civil war in the country.
Aid organisations including the UN World Food Program have not been able to access areas under the control of the al-Shabab militants, who have killed humanitarian workers and banned the WFP.
Many Somalians have now fled their country and made the long trek to Kenya in search of food and shelter.
Aid organisations are doing their best to keep the situation under control, but transport is a problem and the bad quality of the roads is simply down to the infrastructure of the country.
AP Television spoke to one driver delivering aid, who told how tough his three day journey was. He feared his truck could break down, or he could be ambushed by bandits.
The road is very bad, we are not using the main road, we are using diversions. Business is very good said Benjamin Makori.
At this point he had another thousand kilometres to go.
For trucks that do experience mechanical breakdowns, being rescued can take time.
The road is a problem, but from our point of view the loading, the unloading, the distance, that's all fine for me. The biggest problem are these roads, Abdul Qadir Hafiz, another driver explained.
But if the roads in Kenya are bad, the roads in Somalia are far worse.
The insecurity in Somalia compounded by the Al-Shabab declaration means that 2.2 (m) million Somalis are unable to receive any humanitarian assistance directly.
