At Machakos Country Bus, travelers to Western Kenya had to part with as much as Sh3,000 up from Sh1,000 yet they had to be home for Christmas by all means.
“We have to charge higher fares because passengers have to pay for two seats, their seat and the unoccupied seat. Otherwise, we will make losses,” a driver for Eldoret Express bus that operates between Nairobi and Kakamega told The Standard.
At the Nyamakima stage, fares had shot up from Sh350 for Nairobi to Nakuru, to as high as Sh800. Additional luggage was charged at an extra Sh200.
