For a long time, the public transport system within Nairobi and to destinations outside the city has been horrible. But in recent years, a number of companies have stepped up to solve this problem. This hasn’t been easy given the challenges they continue to face especially from established players in the industry. A number of these companies closed shop but a few have sailed through with a promise to offer comfort, reliability, safety, and value for money.
As a frequent traveler, I am always on the lookout for reliable means of transport to and from Nairobi. And in my search, I came across SWVL Kenya. Going by their customer’s reviews on Facebook and Google Play store, I decided to try them out for a ride to Nyeri. They didn’t disappoint!
