Kampala Light Rail Transit Feasibility Study

planned

Uganda signed a memorandum of understanding with Egypt's Orascom Construction to carry out an 18-month feasibility study on a proposed light rail transit system for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area. The study will assess possible rail routes, projected passenger numbers, infrastructure requirements, and potential funding sources before any investment decision can be made. The project aims to address Kampala's growing transportation challenges and is part of Uganda's long-term plan to establish a Mass Rapid Transit system for the capital by 2040.
