Mololine Shuttle Nakuru Office Location and Contacts

If are you trying to locate Mololine Shuttle Nakuru Offices Location and contacts, then you have come to the right page.

Mololine Shuttle services are a reputable Matatu company that operates mainly on Nairobi Nakuru route. It was one of the first shuttle company to crop up on Kenyan routes after the collapse of bus companies on the route.

Mololine Shuttle Nakuru Office Location

If you are in Nakuru and want to get to Nairobi, then Mololine will be your best bet. It is not only reliable but its customer service according to me is above average.

This is what a customer Gauvar Toor a tour guide had to say about them.

“If you have to get on a Matatu between major cities, take Mololine. It is definitely in a different league. On average, their drivers do not over speed, respect passengers, and do not partake in dangerous driving. If you are a tourist/ foreigner, you can trust this company. ”

The best way to get to Mololine Shuttle is to use google maps. If you have a smartphone just click here and try to locate the office from your location, this should be easy. Besides Nakuru is not a very big city.

If you do not have a phone then Locate Kenyatta lane. Once you have done so the offices are next to Equity Bank Nakuru Offices and opposite Nakuru Railway station. You can also inquire from vendors to help you located the offices.

It would also be prudent to also call them before getting to Nakuru to inquire where they are loacted. Please use the number + 254  716 887825.

Mololine Shuttle Nairobi Office Location and Contacts

If you are in Nairobi you can use this link to locate the Mololine Shuttle Nairobi Offices. Otherwise, the offices are located on the ground floor of Embassy Cinema building, Latema Road in downtown Nairobi that maybe hard for newcomers in the city to locate.

You can also call using the phone number 020 217795.

Molonine Shuttle Schedules and Fees

Mololine as many other shuttles do not have a schedule, the vehicles will leave as soon as the vehicle is fully occupied. There is also no upfront booking and you have to present yourself at their offices and hope that you get a vehicle.

Moreover, they have no operating hours and the shuttles can operate into the night especially if there are many people traveling.

On bus fare, you can expect to pay between Ksh.500.00 and Ksh. 1000.00 but this can go up doing rush hours and festive season.

Conclusion

Mololine is one reliable shuttle service on the Nairobi Nakuru route. If you want to travel fast then this is definitely a company to try though there are other shuttles on this route.

What is your experience traveling with these shuttles? We will be glad to here your stories, please share them.

iPhone 12 Rumored to Sell Without Some Accessories

After the iPhone 11, everyone knows that the iPhone 12 is in the offing. And as usually there are always rumors that come to be true while sometimes, these rumors end up being just rumors.

One such is from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo. According to him, the iPhone could come out without most of its accessories.

According to him, Apple will be selling the iPhone 12 at the same price as the iPhone 11, only that the iPhone 12 will not have most of the accessories, which apparently will be sold separately. Some of the accessories that will not be shipped with the phone are the adapter and the wired earbuds.

Kuo noted that the iPhone 12 adapter a 20W will be sold separately like was done with the 18W charger and adds that Apple could be doing away with the 5W and 18W charges in favor of the current 20W model.

Apple is the first mobile phone company that has begun selling accessories such as adapters separately, a move that iPhone lovers will not take lightly.

This move not to include accessories, as the charger and earbuds will sure make a section of iOS users mad because they expect that to be included in the purchase. However, the company wants to sell at the same price as the iPhone 12, which makes sense by making the box lighter.

Moreover, lest weigh means less cost of freight and overall profitability of the phone. The iPhone 11 has so far been successful and Apple wants to ride on the same wave with the iPhone 12.

It is also rumored that there could be four models of this phone, with the cheapest costing about Ksh.70,000. However, as I have said, the dearest could be the price of the iPhone 11. Besides these phones will have more storage, at 64GB.

The world awaits with abated breathe for the launch of the iPhone 12, when we will put all these rumors to rest. However, until then, we can only wait.

The Data Protection Law of 2019

The Data Protection Bill 2019 became law in November 2019. Among the things the law seeks to address is protecting users from online abuse or ensuring people have freedom from their online activities.

The bill, which was signed by the president back in 2018, saw major digital players oppose it as they saw it infringing on their freedoms online.

The law highlights the role of data controllers and processors and the role of the Data Protection Commission.

It is only recently the ICT Cabinet Secretary said that it now time for Kenya to have a Data Protection officer even as more and more Kenyans go online for business, education, or entertainment.

The successful appointee will be responsible for oversight on data processing operations, promoting self-regulation among data controllers, conducting an assessment to ascertain they are processed under the provisions of the act, carry out inspections, promoting international cooperation in matters relating to data protection, and undertaking research on developments in data processing.

The Secretary General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Prof. Etienne Ehouan Ehile said, “The partnership with StarTimes comes at an opportune time when access to educational content is in high demand as most educational activities have moved online as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its unprecedented outcomes. AAU is open to partnerships with institutions whose core mandates align with our aspirations.”

StarTimes Vice-President Luis Lu said, “We are honored to launch this partnership with the AAU. Our intention is to leverage on this modern platform to expand access to knowledge via AAU approved content where we will be able to air relevant educational materials by distinguished scholars. This is a milestone for StarTimes and a step forward toward ensuring equal access to all levels of education.”

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), StarTimes has launched several initiatives to support access to education for students forced to stay at home through partnerships with Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) and other Kenyan platforms to avail educational content through its mobile platform with a dedicated tab offering hundreds of learning materials for students of all ages.

Through its TV platform, AAU in its capacity as the continental apex of higher education, will promote the quality and relevance of higher education as well as showcase and strengthen the contributions of higher education to the development of the continent.
