ENA Coach has increased fare prices across its routes nationwide, citing a rise in fuel costs following the latest Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) review.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, April 15, ENA Coach said the fare hikes come after EPRA increased fuel prices for the April–May 2026 pricing
EPRA on Tuesday, April 14, announced new fuel prices for the April–May 2026 cycle, with Super Petrol rising by Ksh28.69 per litre and Diesel increasing by Ksh40.30 per litre, while Kerosene remains unchanged.
It attributed the increase largely to a spike in landed costs, the price at which fuel is imported into the country, between February and March.
EPRA added that the adjustments reflect a rise in international petroleum product prices, coupled with exchange rate fluctuations and the application of statutory taxes under the Value Added Tax (VAT) framework.
ENA Coach Adjusts Bus Fares to Nairobi, Mombasa and Upcountry Routes After EPRA Fuel Review
In Nairobi, the maximum pump price for Super Petrol now stands at Ksh206.97 per litre, Diesel at Ksh206.84, and Kerosene at Ksh152.78.
“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,” read the notice.
The revised fares are as follows: Nairobi to upcountry via Narok will now cost Ksh 1,700, while Nairobi to upcountry via Nakuru will cost Ksh 1,800.
The Nairobi–Mombasa route will cost Ksh 2,000, Kisii–Kisumu has been set at Ksh 700, and travel between Mombasa and upcountry destinations, in either direction, will now cost Ksh 3,000.
These adjustments take effect immediately.
The company noted that it fully understands the impact of cost changes on its customers, and this decision has been made with great consideration and responsibility.
“Our commitment remains unwavering to ensure safety, operational excellence, and provision of exemplary services,” Ena Coach said further.

The Matatu Owners Association had earlier announced that public transport fares would be increased, effective Wednesday, April 15, following the significant rise in fuel prices announced on Tuesday, April 14.
In an interview on April 14, Matatu Owners Association Chairman Albert Karakacha said operators had held consultations and agreed to adjust fares in response to higher operating costs.
“Okay, for the newly announced prices, I think from tomorrow, we’ve been consulting, and we will push bus fares up starting from tomorrow,” Karakacha said.

Meanwhile, the Kenya Transporters Association Ltd (KTA) announced that fare prices will increase due to the increase in pump prices for the period between April 15 and May 14, 2026.
In a statement on Wednesday, KTA said that the significant increase in diesel prices, now at Ksh.203 per litre, will automatically affect transport operating costs, and the need to adjust commuter prices is inevitable.
“Members are reminded that fuel constitutes the single largest cost component in road freight transport, accounting for approximately 55% of total operating costs,” KTA noted.
Members of the Association have therefore been advised to review their cost structures, adjust transport rates accordingly, and promptly engage their customers and contractual partners.
