KALITA Bus Transporters is to ply the Kampala-Nairobi route, becoming the first local firm to do so, the managing director has said.

Patrick Lucky said they had imported over 20 new buses worth over sh1b for the first phase of their investment strategy on the route.

“We are going to undertake a marathon investment strategy for this route to put us at par with players in the industry,” Lucky said, adding that they intend to put up a modern bus terminal worth over sh1b next to Nakivubo.

Lucky said they would slash fares by about 20% to compete favourably.
