Fears of Fare Hikes as Kenyans Begin Upcountry Travel

Share

As the world enters Christmas Eve, many Kenyans have begun traveling to various destinations across the country.

However, there’s concern that fares may increase due to many travellers travelling upcountry.

Nairobi residents have begun their familiar tradition of travelling upcountry to their rural homes for the festivities.

The tradition often comes with ever-increasing expenses, ranging from fare hikes to costs on the back of yearly increases in the general cost of living.

It is traditional that most bus companies and passenger vans, commonly known as shuttles, plan to adjust their fares as the festive season begins.
