I had booked a luxury coach for a group of 15 family members. We got a death trap whose driver was rude, chewing khat, and had music blasting all night from a cheap boom box. We had several near misses with oncoming traffic and anyone else on the road throughout the journey. The bus broke down in Voi for almost 5 hours and a few lucky passengers were picked up by later buses. Once the 'coach' was underway it literally became a matatu, picking up passengers all the way to Nairobi! Lesson learnt, never again Tahmeed.

The bus was dirty people sleeping on the floor of the bus, dirty boxes, mattresses and cartons stuck on the luggage space and bedbugs please be warned! Then they left with my luggage, had to go after it costing me time and money. They were rude blaming me for their incompetence. Only board if it's your only option but DONT.

Horrible disaster management! And to make it worse there is hardly any communication from the driver, leaving us to worry and wonder what our fate might be. Tahmeed team, this was disastrous service and I would never ever recommend anyone to travel via this bus. It is 3 am and we are in the middle of nowhere. Do better! Shame on you!
