Public buses operated by the Gaso Bus Company run every morning to Masaka from Kampala and back. Minibus taxis run all day from the taxi parks in Kampala. The TOTAL filling station 6 km from Masaka when approaching from Kampala is where the road forks to bypass Masaka town if continuing to the west of Uganda. The Highway Take Away and Restaurant next to the TOTAL is very clean, fast and has a varied menu with cold sodas and beers. It is a popular rest stop for those traveling west or returning to Kampala.

A public bus runs to Kalangala on the Ssese Islands from the Kampala bus park on the Sunday morning only. Buses departs Masaka for Kalangala usually around 14.00 daily to connect with the 16.00 hours ferry.
