Ride-hailing drivers in Nairobi are facing significantly reduced earnings following recent fuel price hikes by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).

• Fuel prices increased by up to Sh40.30 per litre for diesel, despite a VAT reduction providing some relief.
• Ride-hailing drivers, including those on platforms like Bolt and Uber, report earnings losses as fare adjustments lag behind rising operational costs.
• The wider transport sector is also impacted, with long-distance bus services like ENA Coach increasing fares by up to Sh300.
