Commuter Taxi

These are 14 seater mini-buses locally called "Kamunye". They are marked with a blue checkered band and the letter "T" on both front doors. They dominate the entire transport system in Kampala and countrywide. They normally operate from the two main taxi terminals, the old and new taxi parks. They are non-scheduled and depart when filled up. Fares in and around Kampala city range from sh300 -500 for a one-way trip but the operators hike the fares at peak hours regardless of distance. For city services, it is advisable to tender the exact fee whenever possible to avoid inconveniences. Destinations are displayed on the front windscreens but the bystanders, conductors and guides dressed in overcoats can be useful. Otherwise touts shout out various destinations. For long distance or country travel, medium size buses are recommended on account of reasonable speed.
