Abstract

ReCAP has sub-contracted Tacitus Ltd to undertake data collection on the Rural Transport Premium for Impact Indicator in Kenya on the Gitugi-Kiamara junction road in Murang’a, Kenya. The indicator is defined as Rural transport premium (fares per passenger-kilometres on LVRR relative to fares on long-distance bus services) tracked in four focus countries including Kenya. This final report provides an overview of data collection activities in the field, analysis of the data, and final results. The key result of the research project is that the Rural Transport Premium has reduced from 5 in 2014 to 2.3 in 2020 (based on minibuses).

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
