Train passengers traveling between Kampala and Mukono will see services restart Monday after a brief pause. The Uganda Railway Corporation halted operations on April 6 to fix problems along the route. Workers completed repairs at the Namanve embankment, making the railway safe again for travel.
URC officials confirmed Saturday that technical teams finished all restoration work needed on the line. Commuter trains became popular after their introduction last June, offering people an escape from traffic jams and expensive transport options. Many passengers found the service helpful across different income brackets.
The trains regularly fill with riders leaving Mukono station and remain crowded even after reaching Namanve. This high demand shows how much people value affordable travel choices in the region. The railway provides an efficient alternative that serves both working-class commuters and business professionals.
