Stranded passengers look for other means of transport and some resorted to walking on May 18,2026.[Benjamin Sakwa,Standard]
Transport activities in Bungoma County were disrupted on Monday after Matatu owners joined forces with their counterparts in the country and withdrew their vehicles from the road, lamenting the increase in the price of petrol and diesel.
At several bus and Matatu stations, passengers heading to Kitale, Bungoma, Malaba, and Eldoret were forced to use either boda boda or private cars as transport operators kept their vehicles off the roads, citing the high cost of fuel and increased operating expenses.
The few vehicles which were spotted on the road were forced to drive away without passengers, or they risk being stoned.
