Fuel Price Spikes Drive Up Transport Fares
Fuel prices have increased by 25% in Kenya and 33% in Tanzania. The rising costs are expected to continue impacting the transport sector. Public transport fares in Kenya have risen by 25% due to these spikes. Analysts warn that transport sector disruptions will lead to increased food prices. Rising fuel prices in East Africa are causing an inevitable increase in transport sector costs. The disruption is linked to ongoing delays in the supply chain. The situation follows recent economic shocks in the region. The conflict with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route, are contributing to rising airfares. Travel experts recommend booking peak season travel immediately or opting for flexible fares to avoid being locked into prices. The window for booking four to ten months in advance has largely closed for the current season.
