Beginning of the 1960s, Ugandan smugglers needed a cheap, reliable, and quiet way to move materials between Uganda and Kenya. Cars were too expensive and noisy, and so were motorbikes. Their choice was to use bicycles which, with a little luggage rack behind the seat, were perfect for evading the border police while transporting valuable goods. The idea had an unexpected development. Those bikes were so strong that perhaps were also suitable as taxis to transport people. Michael Lipton, identified rural isolation and distance from urban centers as the real obstacle to the growth of developing countries (Lipton 2014). The gains were lower than those derived from smuggling, but at least the business was legal and the riders did not have to deal with the police system of the two countries. This development gave rise to the Boda Boda taxi system which, from the border between Uganda and Kenya, where it was invented spread quickly in east Africa. The widespread development of motorcycle taxis system in Kenya is changing the mobility habits of the rural populations. Their ubiquitous presence in East African cities is the result of a number of factors including an increasing demand for public transit, the ability to purchase motorcycles on credit, and an influx of cheap imports from Indian manufacturers like Bajaj. In the countries where they are present, boda boda can provide vital job opportunities for entrepreneurial young men who lack skills lifting their incomes and brightening their lives while at the same time resulting in an increase in road accidents and unnecessary deaths. The term boda boda may come from the English words shouted by their drivers: "border, border". Some credit the boda boda with an apocryphal ability to transport people across a border without a need to complete the paperwork using a motor vehicle would necessitate. The need for a reliable and effective transportation system is increasingly met by an organization of young men called Boda Boda. The name still carries its outlaw's origins and it is a mispronunciation of the words "border border," which just reminds the smuggling practices of the 1960s. Today it has become a common means of transportation especially in rural areas of Africa. The motorcycle Boda Boda, more robust and with a better ability to go longer distances and climb up hill compared to the bicycle, first appeared on the market in 1992, and had a rapid growth due to the Government easing on the restrictions on import of vehicles more than 5 years old (Howe 2003). The cheapness of the imported used motorcycles, compared to the cost of cars caused the fleet growth, and the success of the phenomenon. The utilization of a transportation system which freely permits the access to a larger amount of ideas might become an element which will allow populations to decide what their future should look like.
