Gambian students and school children will hopefully be some of the main beneficiaries of the new Unique Transport Service System (UTSCO) launched last month by President Jammeh. The fleet of 31 buses will serve the busiest urban routes in The Gambia as well as some more rural areas, with the aim of making transport more accessible and affordable to all.
Buses from the depot at MSA in Kotu operate routes along the trans-Gambia highway to Kalaji in Foni; from West Field to Tabokoto; between Banjul and West Field; Brikama and the AU Junction; and on the northern bank between Barra and Amdalai, Farafennis and Wassu.
Students in uniform pay 5 dalasis to travel to school, regardless of distance, and for D180 a month bus pass can be purchased which entitles students to unlimited travel.
