Reviews

As always, I share reviews from real customers who have used the buses for you to get a glimpse of what you are getting you into.

Mwaghesha Mkala says:

“Your 9PM bus from Mombasa on Sunday (9/9/2018) was being driven very fast and carelessly, and could have caused numerous accidents between Mombasa and Mtito Andei. It was KCE 151 if I’m not wrong, and the passengers raised complaints a number of times. The driver should not be allowed on the road if he is in a hurry to get somewhere, he should drive alone.

Very disappointed with the experience!”

Fatmzahra Luqman Jamardin Says:

“MIMI hata nkikosa gari SKU nyingine siwezi panda gari zenyu…useless company….yesterday i suffered the whole night….gari ya SAA NNE usiku ikaharibikia kwa njia tukashukishwa tunaekwa kwa tahmeed na imejaa ikabidi tumekaa kwa floor…yaani nashuka Nairobi asubuhi nakaa kama nlikuwa nakimbizana na nyoka mstuni nimejaa mchanga….mtafilisika tu….nlitaka kuwashtaki mnirudishie doh zangu but nimewaachia mungu….rubbish…mazaga za gari….am very disappointed…nkt..”

Lastly Samuel Ngiri Nginya Says:

“Disappointed. My name is Samuel, tel. 0722787537. Booked a Randa coach online booking ticket on Saturday 10th March, for travel date of Sunday 11th March 10pm. Seat no 9. I booked so early coz I was not feeling well. Mpesa Ref :MCA476CG9E. The bus Reg.NO  KCE151Z. I was boarding from Miritini stage. When the bus came the conductor who was very rude had sold my seat, and rudely told me to take the back seat or I go to their office to complain. It was then heading to 11 pm, so my options were limited but to take that back seat. People of Kenya where did Justice go? Why then was I booking more than 24 hours in advance? The conductor’s mobile no is 0713317378. I am calling all Kenyans of goodwill to come and help me get these answers from this company. Why did they discriminate against me? What criteria did they use for discrimination? IAM Demanding a non-conditional apology & compensation for damages, otherwise, this issue will not rest there.”

In writing these articles, in no way do we endorse these companies. We provide you with the information as it is for you to decide.

I only got negative reviews. Maybe people who are happy with their services do not complain.

Looking for other options on this route? Why not consider
