E-Bus Xpress has today launched a smart mobility solution for schools in Uganda, with Kololo Senior Secondary School becoming the pioneer of this innovative initiative.
The smart mobility solution will enable students to access rides to and from school on electric buses through the use of a wristband.
With a simple tap, students will be able to enjoy safe, affordable, and cashless transport services.
The cashless wristband, powered by MTN MoMo Uganda, is designed to make student transport simpler, safer, and smarter.
Key features include tap-to-pay functionality, a fully cashless transport experience, flexible payment options (daily, weekly, or monthly), faster boarding, greater convenience for students, and added peace of mind for parents.

“Step onto our bus and you will find what Uganda’s commuters have always deserved: Air-conditioning,| onboard WiFi, cashless payments , scheduled trips and absolute safety and security,” said Eng. Ian John Kavuma , the Managing Director (MD) of E-Bus Xpress.

“We shall serve two major customers daily- the commuters on public routes, shuttle services for corporates, education institutions and gated communities. The second category of customers targeted by the new service are the transport entrepreneurs through- three franchise model — lease-to-own, lease-to-operate, buy-a-seat on the bus,” Kavuma explained .
E Bus Xpress has since been activated in GKMA with 8 word-classs- Kayoola buses on Route E1: Kampala CBD to Ntinda via Nakawa and Wandegeya, in dual circular direction.
