Travel informed, not just booked.
Recent rider reports are mixed. Here's what shows up most often, so you can plan around it rather than be surprised by it.
- Safety
Modern Coast has had a number of serious accidents in recent years, including a fatal 2022 crash that led Kenya's transport authority to briefly suspend its operations. Check current safety standing before long-haul or overnight trips.
- Timing
Reviewers frequently report departure delays, sometimes several hours, especially on cross-border routes with immigration stops. Build slack into any onward connection.
- Comfort
Air conditioning and cleanliness are inconsistent across the fleet according to recent reviews — some buses match the VIP billing, others don't.
- Tip
If you're shipping a parcel, get a tracking reference and hold onto it — some readers report delays locating parcels in transit.
