Fuel prices in Kenya have hiked massively from the 15th of September, 2023.
Matatu owners have announced fresh fare hikes. I will be updating the new fares as they change.
This is what matatus and buses are currently charging from Nairobi. All prices are in Kenya Shillings (Ksh.).
Please note, prices may rise slightly on weekends, public holidays and during the opening and closing of schools due to higher demand.
They may also fall slightly when business is down. Take these as the normal prices.
Safe travels!
