KAMPALA – Owners of Tondeka Metro Bus Company, have Thursday, February 20, 2020, paid a courtesy call on the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga.

The team led by the company’s board chairman Dr. Peter Kimbowa has been carrying out various stakeholder engagements with a view of harmonizing and consolidating efforts that will lead to the provision of convenient, reliable, timely, and affordable urban bus transport services in the greater Kampala metropolitan area.

Dr Kimbowa told the speaker that unlike past initiatives, the proposed transport infrastructure project will deliver five bus terminals, five depos and several park and ride facilities along the major arteries of Tondeka’s operational radius.

He said his team has extensively consulted with members of the public, Government local administrative units of Mukono, Wakiso, Entebbe and KCCA and was optimistic that when the operations of Tondeka begin, all parties concerned will be well aligned.

He revealed that Tondeka is a locally registered special purpose vehicle, owned by the existing taxi and drivers associations alongside Ugandan business entrepreneurs backed up by the Hinduja Group, the world’s third-biggest bus manufacturers, who have pledged to offer a turnkey solution.

He said that in the second phase of the project, the Hinduja group plans on cultivating synergies with Kiira Motors Corporation by having some units of buses locally assembled, a move that will have both forward and backward linkages.

Ms. Kadaga said that the involvement of Kiira motors in the second phase of the project would help build local capacity and further provide employment opportunities to many youths in the country.

The meeting was attended by taxi drivers and owners representatives, Mustafah Mayambala of UTRADA, Gad Mugisha of COTODA, Amanda Ngabirano Director of Tondeka, Ortus Africa’s Dorothy Kabugo, the transaction advisors of Tondeka Project and Shubir Karia Hinduja groups representative in Uganda
