THE UNION STORY

What began as The United Boda-Boda Riders Cooperative Union, a bold national movement to unify and professionalize Uganda’s fragmented boda-boda sector has transformed into something far greater, in less than 18 months.

Building on the proven success of the Boda Boda Co-operative Union model, which has demonstrated that organizing transport workers into a structured, technology-enabled ecosystem can deliver real economic value at scale, the UNION TRANSPORT ALLIANCE was formalized in March 2026.

Simply known as ‘UNION’.

At its core, UNION is an umbrella body integrating boda bodas, taxis, buses, and truck operators onto one unified platform designed as a commercial platform (“supermarket”) for already existing products such as; Union ride hailing app, bike loans, Union water, smartphones, Union Data Bundle, and Union Oil, as well as future products such as; Union matatus (taxis), Union buses, Union trucks, tyres, spare parts, electric cars, backpacks, laptops, scholastic materials and many more.This positions it as the largest organized economic vehicle in Uganda. 

At the heart of our work is empowering over 10 million hardworking transporters and their families to not only grow, earn more, and plan for the future but to also shape a stronger, more organized transport sector.
