Long-distance bus company Ena Coach has revised its fares across key routes following the latest fuel price adjustment by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).
In a notice issued to customers, the company said the move was informed by a review of its operations after the regulator announced new fuel prices.
“Following the recent fuel price review announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), we have undertaken a careful operational assessment and implemented a necessary adjustment to our fare structure to sustain service quality across all routes,” Ena Coach stated.
Major Routes Affected
The updated fares affect major routes connecting Nairobi, Mombasa, and upcountry towns. Passengers travelling from Nairobi to upcountry via Narok will now pay KSh 1,700, while those using the Nakuru route will pay KSh 1,800.
The Nairobi–Mombasa route has been set at KSh 2,000, while the Kisii–Kisumu route will cost KSh 700. Travellers on the Mombasa–upcountry route will pay the highest fare at KSh 3,000.
“These adjustments take effect immediately,” the notice read.

Fuel Costs Push Up Transport Expenses
The fare changes come after a fresh fuel price review by EPRA, which triggered a sharp increase in petrol and diesel costs.
In the latest adjustment, petrol prices rose by Sh28.69 per litre, while diesel recorded a higher increase of Sh40.30 per litre. However, kerosene prices remained unchanged.
Following the review, motorists will now pay KSh 206.97 per litre of petrol and KSh 206.84 for diesel. Kerosene will retail at KSh 152.78. The new prices took effect at midnight on April 15 and will run for 30 days, ending May 14, 2026.
Meanwhile, the increase in fuel costs has raised concern among industry players. Transport operators have already begun reacting as they try to manage rising expenses linked to fuel consumption.

Passengers Feel the Impact
The fare adjustment is expected to affect thousands of passengers who rely on bus transport for travel between cities and rural areas. Workers, students, and traders are likely to bear the brunt of the higher costs, especially for long-distance journeys.
Even so, Ena Coach acknowledged the impact on its customers, noting that the decision had been made with great consideration and responsibility.
The company maintained that it remains committed to safety, efficiency, and maintaining high service standards despite the increase.
The latest developments highlight how fluctuations in fuel prices continue to influence transport costs, with a direct effect on the overall cost of living in the country.
