Mololine Services Limited is one of Kenya’s established passenger transport and logistics companies.
Founded in 1994 and commencing operations in 1995, the company has grown from a shuttle operator into a transport business offering passenger travel, parcel delivery, car hire, insurance, and logistics services.
The company is headquartered in Nakuru and serves major towns across Kenya through an extensive network of shuttle and coach services.
Mololine History and Ownership
Mololine Services Limited was founded in 1994 by businessman Kibera Muchai and officially commenced operations in 1995 at the Nakuru bus terminal.
The company entered Kenya’s road transport sector as a shuttle operator, focusing on passenger transport between Nakuru and other major towns.
During its early years, Mololine distinguished itself through structured passenger boarding systems and operational reforms aimed at improving service delivery.

The company was among the transport operators that introduced organized queuing systems and later adopted uniforms for drivers and conductors.
As demand for road transport grew, Mololine expanded its fleet and route network beyond Nakuru.
The company established services connecting major towns including Nairobi, Kisumu, Kericho, Eldoret, Kitale, Kabarnet, Busia, Migori, Sirare and Mombasa.
In 2004, the company introduced the Prestige Shuttle service, targeting passengers seeking a higher level of comfort.
The move marked Mololine’s entry into premium passenger transport services.
Mololine later expanded into coach services to complement its shuttle operations and serve longer routes across the country.
The company also diversified into parcel delivery, logistics, car hire, insurance agency services and fleet management.
The company operates as Mololine Services Limited and remains privately owned.
Some of the company’s busiest corridors include Nairobi-Nakuru, Nairobi-Kisumu, Nairobi-Eldoret, Nairobi-Kitale and Nairobi-Kericho, linking Kenya’s commercial, agricultural and administrative centres.
