Only Nairobi and Mombasa have Kenya's extensive public transportation network. In other cities, only the matatu mini buses are popular. Local buses are not particularly comfortable, and most are in need of major repairs or even replacement.
An important problem of urban transportation is the long time between flights. Passengers have to wait a long time for the necessary transportation, and when it arrives, it tends to be crowded with as many people as possible. Therefore, without a crush in public transportation can not do without. You can buy tickets directly from the driver.
Due to the fact that shuttle buses are considered very uncomfortable, and "matatu" unsafe, tourists are best to move around the city by cab. If you want to find a comfortable way to travel between cities, you can choose rail transportation for this purpose.
At first glance it may seem uncomfortable, but in fact it is considered quite modern. After all, the carriages are of good quality, they are always clean and equipped with a bar. Most of the railroad trips are night flights.
