Coca-Cola Surprises Nairobi Commuters with Free Matatu Rides

Coca-Cola brightened the day for Nairobi commuters by offering free matatu rides to thousands of passengers traveling from Ngara stage to over ten destinations, including Westlands, Uthiru, Kangemi, Limuru, and Wangige.
The initiative, part of the “Javv na Coke” campaign, kicked off at 6 a.m., when Coca-Cola representatives announced that passengers could enjoy free rides by purchasing a Coke for just Ksh 20 in a returnable bottle, regardless of the usual fare to their destinations.
Commuters expressed joy and gratitude for the initiative, which provided much-needed financial relief during the challenging “Njaanuary” period.
“God is great! I usually pay Ksh 120 to travel to Limuru and back, but today, I saved that money and got a Coke instead,” said Florence Waweru, a delighted commuter.
Joyce Akinyi, a vendor from Wangige, shared her excitement: “I saved Ksh 40 after Coca-Cola paid my fare. This initiative is a blessing, especially in January when expenses are high.”
Justus Ndunda, a regular traveler between Ngara and Limuru, added: “I heard about the campaign at the stage and grabbed the chance. I usually spend Ksh 60, but today, I saved Ksh 40 and enjoyed a refreshing Coke.”
While it remains unclear whether Coca-Cola plans to extend the “Javv na Coke” campaign to other stages in Nairobi, the initiative has sparked excitement and hope for similar surprises in the future.
