While many bus companies traverse Kenya, few are as reliable as Easy Coach regarding reasonable charges and route predictability. And now, the Easy Coach online booking process is more seamless than ever, allowing you to book a bus using your mobile phone or computer.
You can book an Easy Coach bus ticket via Buupass.com, where you can select your preferred departure date, time, and destination and even book a return ticket. Alternatively, you can use the EasyCoach Booking app or the USSD code *877#.
I’ll explain all the methods and what to expect from each. Mark you; all these three booking ways give you access to the current fares, depending on your route.
And as I hinted earlier, Easy Coach has a fair fare-charging reputation. They rarely hike their fares, and everything is laid in black and white on their website.
But just an overview, it’ll cost you Ksh 950 – Ksh 1650 to travel between most regions in Nyanza and Nairobi or vice versa and about Ksh 1350 – Ksh 1650 to travel between Nairobi and western Kenya or vice versa.
I’ll share more about the regional routes and the expected fare prices later. But first, let me explain more about the three ways you can get an Easy Coach bus ticket.

3 Easy Coach Online Booking Methods
Currently, you can book an Easy Coach bus ticket online using any of these three ways:
1. On Buupass.com
Buupass.com is an online bus booking platform for booking bus tickets to most regions in Kenya and up to Kampala. They’ve partnered with many bus companies, including Easy Coach, to ensure that is possible.
While their fare prices may be slightly higher (probably by Ksh 100 – 400), depending on the region, they promise a stress-free booking process. With Buupass.com, you can compare Easy Coach to other bus services.
Even better, you can pick your preferred seat, time, and travel date and even book a return ticket depending on your time of traveling back. So, you can book your bus ticket days or weeks in advance, which is rare in the Kenya bus service market.
Now, here is how to book an Easy Coach bus ticket online on Buupass.com:
- Step 1 (Go to the company website) – Using your internet-enabled device, go to Buupass.com. You’ll access a booking page to search for available Easy Coach buses (and other buses).
- Step 2 (Start searching) – Enter the relevant details to help you find available buses. That includes departure, destination, travel date, and return date (optional). Once you do that, click on search and wait to see the available buses and the fare prices.
- Step 3 (Seat selection) – Now, pick your preferred seat from the available seats.
- Step 4 (Proceed to book) – The remaining steps involve filling out the passenger details (name, phone number, ID, and nationality residence) and payment details (Email, full name, and MPESA number)
- Step 5 (Make payment) – Complete the booking process by paying for your bus ticket and wait for a confirmation message which will be your receipt.
Important Note
Note that Buupass.com allows you to filter your bus search according to the following:
- Bus type (where you can opt for Executive, Normal, VIP, or Business class)
- Timing (where you can select morning, afternoon, or evening buses)
- Facilities (where by there’s the option of air conditioner and water)
2. Via The Easy Coach Booking App
Easy Coach allows you to book a bus ticket online using its mobile app, EasyCoach Booking. The app lets you search for your destination, buy a ticket, pick a destination point, and choose your preferred bus according to departure time.
You can also select your preferred seat via the app, and once you are ready to pay, you can do it via MPESA.
So, go ahead, download and install EasyCoach Booking on your phone and run it. You can then use it to book an Easy Coach bus ticket to your preferred destination.
3. Using The USSD Code *877#
The *877# USSD code allows Safaricom users, especially those without the Easy Coach booking app, to book Easy Coach bus tickets using their mobile phones.
You’ll need to dial *877# on your Safaricom line and follow the subsequent steps to book your ticket. Note that Buupass.com offers this service. So, expect the same process and selection criteria as the website discussed earlier.
