FIRST ANNIVERSARY MILESTONES
The story begins in January 2025.
On 21st January 2025, as part of the National Boda Boda Stage Development Initiative, UNION was officially launched at the Kampala Serena Hotel under the theme:
“Empowering Boda Boda Riders for Growth.”
A new chapter for Uganda’s transport sector had begun.
On 17th February 2025, UNION took a digital leap forward with the launch of the Union App, giving riders nationwide access to services that boost their earnings, and convenience for passengers.
At the same time, Union Centres were established across all sub-regions bringing coordination and support closer to riders. Currently, Union has 135 centres countrywide.
On 7th May 2025, history was made in Gulu City, as over 1,200 boda-boda leaders from 135 districts gathered for a landmark leadership retreat, graced by Gen. (Rtd) Salim Saleh.
On 5th June 2025, UNION unveiled its asset financing products at Garden City, Kampala empowering members through bike ownership, smartphones, and access to land.
On 27th July 2025, UNION ignited a powerful youth empowerment drive in Kawempe Division equipping young riders with bodabodas, financial tools, and a pathway to home ownership to fight unemployment and poverty.
On 19th August 2025, UNION revolutionized Uganda’s transport sector with the rollout of 4,000 brand-new Spiro electric bikes across the Kampala Metropolitan Area in an effort to improve livelihoods and accelerate Uganda’s transition to clean, affordable mobility.
On 9th September 2025, boda-boda and taxi operators formed a historic alliance, uniting under Union to reshape the transport sector through improved safety, professionalism, and service delivery nationwide.
On 14th September 2025, Union organised the biggest transport sector celebration.
