Uganda’s Ministry for works and transport has suspended operations of Jaguar buses for at least ten days effective September 12.
The decision follows road crash involving one of their buses, where eight lives were claimed along the Masaka road on September 1, 2024. The jaguar bus was travelling from Kampala to Kigali, Rwanda, when it’s veered out of its lane and collided head –on with a Fuso truck.
“Preliminary findings have shown that the driver of the Jaguar bus was try to overtake in wrong place, causing head –on collision and killing 8 people. We therefore banned it for ten days and have directed police to impound any Jaguar bus seen on the road after 6am Friday,” transport state minister Fred Byamukama said on Thursday.
