He paid the fare and boarded the bus with his bag as normal. He was then left stranded at the rest stop in Mtito at 2am with his bag still onboard the bus. So clearly, there was no call to re-board the bus, and no head-count to ensure all passengers were accounted for. He then had to pay fare AGAIN to get on another bus with the same company to make it the rest of the way to his destination. He called the company about locating his bag and was given nothing but excuses. He's been to several of there offices around the Mtwapa and Mombasa area trying to locate his bag, with zero help or information from this company. It's been well over 24 hours at this point and still nothing. I've been trying to call the Customer Care team about 20 times and nobody has picked my calls. Why even have a Customer Care call centre if nobody is answering the phones??? WE JUST WANT OUR BELONGINGS BACK!!! SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY!!! WON'T BE TRAVELLING WITH THIS MOB OF UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF EVER AGAIN!!!

They do not refund the customer's fare. I think it's made for people going to kisii, Busia and Kisumu. They are pathetic liars too. No one should risk to take this bus if going to Mombasa.
