Modern Cost is a big joke! My friend boarded their bus recently and traveled in bed-bug infested bus. Imagine scratching yourself for a 10hr, 500km journey!



I believe its all a matter of opinion, i used Modern Coast not so long ago and the services were perfect! I enjoyed the whole trip, this was my third time and i prefer them any day over Coast bus

Opinion or not, I can confidently tell you modern coast will fall. I am a frequent user and have been for the past 1and half years and I can tell you it is slowly but surely going to the dogs. The service& condition of the buses is getting dilipidated by the day. But is that not the Kenyan way of doing things? Get the customer by treating them as king but after that.....well another story.Thats why I have 2agree and say coast bus has had some form of consistency.

The worst buses on our roads are hoppas and some shuttles.
Old, rickety,dirty,and ruggedy.


Citi Hoppa was great when Thuo was running the show. Then he left management under his wife while he concentrated on politics...and things started going down...down...down...

Remember also that he was behind the revival of KBS after Stagecoach left in a huff... Metro Shuttles, Upcountry services and the interchangeable tickets that could get you from Homa Bay to Dandora.... all these were his ideas.

But as we all know, politics and business never mix!

@chiaroscuro, Mr Thuo was one of them that brought KBS to its knees so that he could buy it. Remember while at the helm of KBS and kbs had buses plying upcountry routes, he introduced his own fleets by the name 'dolphin coaches'. That was pure conflict of interest and was one of the strategies to kill KBS.
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

Ditto kabisa!
Infact he (Thuo) even went ahead and used the corporate KBS color of light blue on his Dolphins!
Pure conflict of interest;pure impunity.

The sale of property belonging to the collapsed Akamba Public Road Services Company was called off midway yesterday, disappointing dozens of investors who had travelled to Nairobi for the auction.
