Ahh… the delicate dance of negotiating with fellow passengers how much extra each is willing to pay to fill the car so we can leave the station.

As much as people like to talk about how much boda riders make in Kampala, the average daily revenue was ~41,800 UGX this Jan (take home was 12,600). Only one in five days will see a rider earn more than 50k. And only one in a hundred will make 100k or more in a day. 🫰🏾🏍️💨

In Kampala, mechanics are the surgeons of the boda boda industry, keeping everyone going where they need to. But their yangas and links to motorcycle theft and murder means they are often accused of malpractice. Geofrey Ndhogezi's latest for Lubyanza : medium.com/lubyanza/of-me…

For the past two years, every three months, Geofrey Ndhogezi and Kalungi James crisscross Kampala talking to boda riders for the Lubyanza quarterly report. They've dealt with suspicious boda riders, terrible rains, boda breakdowns, and shifty policemen. Neyanziza 👏👏👏

Boda riders rank highest in road crash fatalities and injuries. So Simon Ibanda, a former boda rider is using his own small resources to promote road safety through roadside preaching! Lubyanza's Kalungi James just dropped a detailed piece 👇! medium.com/lubyanza/champ…

Two years ago, a friend visited from Kampala and we spent the week drinking jaba juice and coming up with the Boda Boda Game. Now, it's entering production 🥳 Join the waitlist: lubyanza.com/the-boda-board…

A (delivery) boda boda stage in Washington, DC Delivery motorcycles are all over the city now. It never made any sense to delivery a pizza with a car, and an economist would call this a market correction, and I'd call it common sense (that East Africa was 30 years ahead of).
