To Newburn from Bonde, U.C.T.U. Operating Efficiency
cost sheet, the average vehicle revenue per day is 32,667 UShs.
Using the same number of vehicle days, operating at a maximum
efficiency of 60 percent, the revenue is 905,058,835 UShs,
which results in a loss per year of 211,984,781 UShs.
Whenever I talk to anyone about transportation, the big problem
is always lack of transportation. I am of the opinion that
the real problem is lack of transportation management.
I recommend that an in depth study of the U.C.T.U. operation,
which should cover at least a one-year period, be undertaken
to determine proper utilization of equipment plus an evaluation
of empty kilometers traveled during that year. The more I see
of the Uganda Cooperative Transport Union operation, the more
convinced I am that its present function is not what was
originally intended.
