Modern Coast Express has apologised to Kenyans after one of their buses was captured speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road.
In a message sent on Sunday, the management of modern coast announced they had reported the driver to the National Transport and Safety Authority for action to be taken against him.
“The video of our Meru bus overlapping Near Nithi black spot circulating on social media is a disgrace. We would like to apologise for that and stop such recklessness.The company advocates for safety.
“It is with that reason we have taken action by presenting the driver to NTSA for cancellation of his licenses, summary dismissed and retrain before going back to our roads. We shall continue working with the public and authorities to ensure a safe transport industry,” Modern Coast stated on Facebook.

The incident comes at a time when road accidents have been on the rise.
On Friday, four people died after a T.S.S Express Bus heading to Mombasa veered off the road and plunged into a valley in Mazeras near Mombasa.
The Mazeras incident came barely two days after a Nairobi-bound Modern Coast bus mysteriously burst into flames along Mombasa Road in Kyulu, Makueni County. Fortunately, all passengers were safely evacuated.
