During the 2nd National road safety summit held at Kampala Sheraton hotel yesterday, the traffic Police chief, Steven Kasiima inked a move to regulate the 2 wheels sector by forcing non-digital drivers to either join UberBoda, SafeBoda, Bolt or any other hailing wing.

We dont know how many Boda Bodas are in Kampala, but if we force each and every driver to join atleast one of these hailing companies, we shall be able to regulate and easily improve road safety in Uganda

In a time when SafeBoda is shifting its app from simply a Boda hailing companion to a must have all in one services drother with Airtime purchases currently available on the app in exchange with cashless credit. UberBoda is also stretching its wings and periodically redefining its services to cope with the competition standards inking a better trend for the Boda hailing industry.

So, the support by Traffic police to these Boda hailing firms confirms new standards where all 2 wheel bike drivers will now be under hailing firm umbrellas. Much more like a fact, road safety has never been a challenge to any of these wings making them the best paths to maneuver traffic during peak hours anywhere around Kampala.

Aside from the Boda hailing league, the taxi-hailing counter has little cab, Uber taxi and Bolt again shaking the league for a tight markup and Yellow Bird again has an entry to this coone. So, this is a ride-hailing firm that seems to have the same spirit Dial Jack founders inked during its cross over to Uganda and a fatal touch to take over as a hailing stressor to the big dogs in the yard.

Among the catalog of services provided by YellowBid as witnessed on their driver include Boda pickups, Cabs, health services and a connection of quick access to lawyers, designers, and engineers. In simple terms, YellowBird ships a different approach to the hailing industry with a heavy bunch of services to their norm.

Well, we’ve not received any insights and goals from the founders of the hailing startup. But the Company was founded in 2018 and is led by N.Loukenam as per its registry details with its headquarters sighted in Ntinda along Muteesa II road. All in all, No company has ever launched a direct 2 way approach to the ride hailing industry as YellowBird has proved to excel in the league with both a 2Wheel plus 4 Wheel solutions in 1 app.

By the time Uber cruised to Uganda, it had a single Uber X interface, the same way Bolt followed the trail with a single approach until early 2018 when the two taxi hailing leaders borrowed a lead from the Cashless trips mover SafeBoda to tweak the Boda hailing league. But since YellowBird already has a 2 in 1 approach, it must be that service that will shake things up in the ride-hailing industry except if odds dress it with Kenya’s Mondo Ride waivers.
