The latest accident sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some Kenyans questioning the safety of Easy Coach buses following the two incidents.

One user questioned whether the company’s previous reputation for safety had changed, asking: “Once known for zero accidents, what’s really happening?”

Another Kenyan expressed concern over the frequency of the incidents, arguing that the accidents were now becoming too much for the company.

In addition, Others linked the latest accident to the fatal crash involving another Easy Coach bus, with one commenter questioning whether careless driving could be contributing to the accidents.

However, other users defended Easy Coach, arguing that the latest incident should not be blamed on the bus company if reports that a trailer forced the bus off the road are accurate.

“They were pushed off the road by a trailer whose driver ran away. How’s that their problem? A bit of research would spare you the hyperbole you’re now exhibiting here,” Mahnuel asked on X.
