Ministry of Works and Transport has directed police to arrest operators of drones and have the vehicles impounded if found transporting passengers
This follows brewing tension between taxi operators and operators of these vehicles that normally load passengers along with railway stations and use the Kampala Entebbe Express highway.
Many residents have found it cheaper and time saving to use private cars especially drones to ply the route between the Entebbe and Kampala
Addressing journalists at Media Centre, the commissioner of Transport regulation and safety Winstone Katushabe said these vehicles are not allowed to carry passengers because they do not have the requisite license and other requirements
He advises travelers to ensure they use only vehicles licensed to carry passengers for their safety
Meanwhile, the director of Traffic and Road Safety in the Police Lawrence Niwabiine revealed that 13 vehicles have so far been impounded
