The Uganda Railway Corporation has unveiled plans to rejuvenate the stalled Railway transport after a full year of renovating the Railway line and designating different stages for the train services.
While unveiling the plan in Kampala, the executive director Uganda Railway Corporation, Mr David Musoke Bulega, disclosed that transport costs will be increased.
After a year of stalled operations that paralyzed the Kampala-Namanve 25km railway line that has been closed for refurbishment since April 2023, is set to reopen in a week’s time.
The renovation exercise has seen the deadly spots and broken lines fixed with the train expected to rail swiftly.
The train that had spent some good time without getting on rails has been taken through trials to ensure safety of passengers.
Mr. Bulega said the main target of the passenger train is the working class and students.
He, however, urged the public to use railway transport responsibly. END.
