Boda-boda

Boda-boda (or bodaboda) is a two-wheeled bicycle or motorcycle taxi, originally in East Africa (from English ''border-border''). The operator can also be called boda-boda. In Uganda it is often abbreviated as simply Boda.
==Origin==
The boda-boda taxis are part of the African bicycle culture; they started in the 1960s and 1970s and are still spreading from their origin on the Kenyan - Ugandan border to other regions. The name originated from a need to transport people across the "no-mans-land" between the border posts without the paperwork involved with using motor vehicles crossing the international border. This started in the southern border crossing town of Busia (Kenya/Uganda), where there is over half a mile between the gates, and quickly spread to the northern border town of Malaba (Kenya). The bicycle owners would shout out ''boda-boda'' (border-to-border) to potential customers - not to be confused with ''poda-poda'', which is a form of shared taxi in Sierra Leone.
