The situation

What do Matatu SACCOs & Transport need from a website?

Passengers planning a trip want to know which routes you run, departure points and times, fares and how to book, especially for long-distance and shuttle services. Members and vehicle owners want notices, rules and contacts. A clear website serves both and reduces calls to the office.

Transport is a major source of small-business livelihoods. The KNBS 2016 MSME survey counted about 234,000 transport businesses in Kenya, and the CRA County Fact Sheets list transport and storage as Mombasa County's leading economic activity. Passengers increasingly check routes and booking options online before they travel.

We host transport SACCO and bus company websites with a free SSL certificate on every plan, business email on your own domain for officials and booking offices, and room for booking systems. Plans are paid in shillings via M-Pesa, and support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong?

Passengers call for routes and fares

Booking offices answer the same questions about departure times, stages and prices all day.

Member notices are missed

Vehicle owners and crew miss meetings, rule changes and levies shared only by word of mouth.

Complaints have nowhere to go

Passengers with lost items or complaints cannot find the right contact, which hurts the SACCO's reputation.

Questions

Matatu SACCOs & Transport: questions answered

Can passengers book seats on our website?
Yes, with a booking system. Many bus and shuttle companies use a ticketing platform with M-Pesa payment and link or embed it on their website. A VPS can host a booking system you run yourself.
What should a matatu SACCO website include?
Include routes and stages, fares, booking offices, the SACCO's registration and leadership, member notices and a way to report complaints or lost property. Keep fares current, because outdated prices cause disputes.
Can members access SACCO information online?
A notices page and downloadable documents work well for general information. Individual member statements usually come from SACCO management software, which the site can link to.
Which hosting plan suits a transport SACCO?
An information website runs well on shared hosting. A company with online booking, many routes and staff mailboxes is better on Corporate Hosting, which includes daily backups, or a VPS for the booking system.
Can each booking office have its own email?
Yes. Business email on your domain lets each office and official have an address that stays with the SACCO when people change.
How do we pay?
Plans are priced in shillings and can be paid via M-Pesa. Support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.
