As Kenyans across the country hustle to send their children back to school this week, the Matatu Owners Association has announced that there will be no fare hikes, providing much-needed relief during this typically busy period.
Albert Karakacha, the President of the Matatu Owners Association, conducted a spot check at various bus stations and confirmed that fares remain stable despite the increased demand. This is a significant departure from the usual practice, where commuters have often faced hefty fare increases during peak travel times like the back-to-school season.
In addition to assuring the public about fare stability, Mr. Karakacha urged matatu drivers to exercise caution while ferrying students and other passengers to their destinations. He emphasized the importance of road safety, particularly during this high-traffic period.
This announcement has been well received by Kenyans, who are already dealing with the financial pressures of school fees and other related expenses. The Association’s commitment to maintaining regular fares and prioritizing safety has been seen as a positive step in supporting the public during this critical time.
