Bus owners and ministers meet over suspension of Jaguar buses

The leadership of the United Bus Owners Association (UBOA) met with the Minister of Transport on Monday to discuss the recent suspension of Jaguar buses. The suspension was announced last week following a road accident in Masaka on September 1, 2024, which tragically claimed the lives of eight people.

On Thursday, Transport Minister Fred Byamukama announced a ten-day suspension of Jaguar buses with immediate effect.

In an interview with KFM, UBOA Secretary General Robert Mutebi stated that the association wants to have the suspension of its member reviewed as it is unfair.

“We are even shocked that we had a meeting at the ministry on Tuesday last week to discuss these accidents. We told them the steps we took when we realised that the accidents were back on track,” Mutebi said.
