Kalangala taxi operators park vehicles over new Masaka route rules

Taxi operators in Kalangala have decided to halt their services in protest against new regulations imposed by the Masaka transport authority. The restrictive rules limit the number of taxis from Kalangala that can operate on the Masaka route to just two at any given time. This new policy has been met with strong opposition from the drivers, who argue it significantly impacts their livelihoods and ability to conduct business.

The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between local transport operators and authorities over route allocation and operational limits, potentially disrupting essential travel and trade between the two regions.
