Today, while travelling from Arua to Kampala aboard a YY bus registration UAZ 701X, the situation became unbearable upon reaching Nebbi. The bus crew continued adding passengers into the corridors, while others boarded carrying chickens and ducks, making it difficult for passengers to even breathe comfortably.
I decided to call the Police Traffic Emergency number 0800199099. By the time we reached Pakwach Bridge, traffic officers had already impounded the bus, issued the driver an EPS ticket for excess passengers, and removed the overcrowding.
Yes, we have lost some time on the journey, but it is far better to arrive late than to risk lives by travelling in unsafe conditions, exhausted and unwell.
Road safety is everyoneβs responsibility. Let us value life over recklessness.
