Caleb, and team, Thanks for your proposed constructive engagement with the transport service providers. That should be the spirit from now on also for other services. Times for laying low when heat is coming from the ground have past. Once again, awa'difo, afwoyo, iyete, ayicoya (okollo), and I don't know what to say in Gimara and Madi (Adjumani/Moyo).

Thanks Sent from my iPhone On Mar 15, 2013, at 12:10 AM, Nayenda Elly <[email protected]> wrote: Folks, Whereas the bus operators in WestNile set the pace of customer friendly bus services with every passenger having a definite seat, specific departure time (no arrival time), prayer before take off, no overloading, no luggage allowed in the corridors, excellent mail services and realistic stable fares even during festive season, things took a bad turn from Christmas 2012. Fares shot up from 25,000= to even 40,000= for ordinary. Early 2013 bus companies were levied some charges for not using the terminal per bus that leaves. This levy has been shifted to passengers. What remains unrealistic is why the fares rose by close to 40% yet fuel and terminal levies didn't rise by the same margin. I agree entirely with Abima, fares to other parts of the country went down but ours has risen, is there any justification? Can somebody find from MD Gaagaa (especially Caleb could do that) as to what provoked him (gaagaa) to move 'ambu' but not 'gaa'? Those of us who travel often are feeling the punch. Eventually costs of ordinary goods and services will surely rise if this is not addressed and poverty will dig its fangs deeper into the already economically deprived people. Keep the debate alive until something changes for our good. Aluta continua.

Kitgum used to be 30,000/- but has instead come down to 25,000/-. Kyankwanzi used to be 20,000/- but last week i travelled at 14,000/-. Could our vehicles be 'drinking' a unique fuel type?
