Several ride apps offer boda bodas in Uganda, including PlusBoda, SafeBoda, Uber and Bolt. PlusBoda is Ugandan-built and works everywhere in Uganda: it shows the fare before you book, shows your rider's name, face and plate, lets you share the trip live, and you pay your rider in cash. Drivers keep 100% of every fare.
What to look for in a boda app
The price before you go: on PlusBoda every option — boda, tuk-tuk, car or a seat in a taxi — shows its fare and when you'll arrive before you book.
Knowing who's coming: when a rider accepts you see their name, face and plate, and you follow them on the map. You can share the trip live with anyone in one tap, and there's SOS on every ride.
Paying the way Uganda pays: you pay your rider in cash at the end of the trip.
More than rides
The same app brings food from kitchens near you (Eats), delivers from pharmacies, groceries and other shops (Shops), and has a marketplace for buying and selling. There's even a game, Boda Race, for when you're waiting.
