KAMPALA, May 3 (Xinhua) Here in Uganda s capital, motorcycles, also known as boda bodas, are a common and faster means of transport especially if one wants to beat the heavy traffic during the rush hours.
Rushing from one point to another, travellers may be unaware that the means of transport is the greatest contributor to air pollution in the city, as scientists say.
During the strict lockdown period announced last year to control the spread of COVID-19 in the city, vehicles and motorcycles were banned from moving, and air pollution was drastically reduced, according to the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
