4500 bob should be ok for return fare, but nonsense for one way. Majority of Kenyans will stick to the buses and pay kina Chania express 800 bob or even lower in low peak like 400 bob. Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

Sir, you come across as a cry baby. Kulalamika all the time!! What's the fair price - considering this will be 2017/2018? Live Full Die Empty - Les Brown.

This project if allowed to proceed like this will turn out to be one of the most whitest elephants in Africa. This thing as designed will not be profitable. Kwani ulikuwa unasoma na goggles? I thought that cost was rejected back in 2011? It was not rejected, it was shelved. Now tell me how the Jubree gaament expects to make the project profitable while paying the trillion loan!!1?? Tell what they should charge, the loan has a period it has to be paid, sio open ended. Misinformation!!!!!!!

Is Chania 800 one way or return? If one way, I'd guess most people would prefer to use the train: faster, safer and more comfy. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

I don’t see anything outrageous with that price. If you’ve been out of Kenyan borders says a place like Japan, you would notice that taking a Shikansen for a similar distance (NRB-MBS) will cost you an equivalent of about Ksh 7, 000 one way. Taking a flight will cost you a similar amount, and many people still prefer the train due to its reliability and numerous other positive attributes over other means. So got to pay slightly more for quality and convenience!

The class thing is ok, but what the Chinese say is that for the project to be profitable and that the loan is paid as per timelines then the minimum fair should be pegged at KES. 4,500; I see premium class middle class passengers paying kedo 12K!
