Arua Park
This hosts buses travelling to West Nile sub
region in Northern Uganda and to Juba in
South Sudan. It is the junction where

space but at night, other businesses close
and buses use this oppotunity to load
passengers and depart. However, more
established bus companies have private
terminals and can load passengers during
day time. Others operate booking offices
or stands.
