Travellers at Namayiba Bus Park were treated to a refreshing surprise as Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda activated its popular Share a Coke campaign, handing out personalized bottles of Coke to passengers heading to destinations including Kenya, Gulu, Juba, and beyond.
The activation sparked excitement among the passengers, many of whom were delighted to receive bottles labeled with popular names.
For some, the moment was even more special when they discovered bottles bearing their own names.
Jimmy Ogwal, Manager of Mega Buses at Namayiba, praised Coca-Cola for the thoughtful gesture.
“You’ve truly surprised us,” he said. “The passengers are thrilled not just by the refreshing taste of Coke, but also because the bottles have their names on them. I saw a lady excited after receiving a bottle labeled ‘Patricia’ and it turned out to be her name.”
Ogwal added that the joyful mood created by the campaign had made a lasting impact. “Coca-Cola has set a great tone for the travellers as they begin their journeys. On behalf of all bus park operators, I want to thank them for this heartwarming initiative.”
Etoo Christina, a staff member at Bebeto Buses, echoed the excitement and gratitude.
“We are grateful for the surprise from Coke. The drink tastes as good as ever, and the names on the bottles really got us smiling. On behalf of our clients, I thank Coca-Cola and hope they come back again.”
Passengers also shared their joy. David Wathum, who received a bottle labeled with a name, said the gesture meant more than just refreshment.
“From today onwards, I’ll be searching for my name, ‘David,’ wherever Coke is sold,” he said. “What Coca-Cola has done is more than just giving us a drink. It helped even those who boarded buses without money for snacks to have something along the way.”
The Share a Coke campaign continues its journey across Uganda’s bus parks, spreading smiles and celebrating the joy of sharing, one personalized bottle at a time.
