SGR passenger ticket sales hit record Sh2bn in six months
Passengers using the afternoon SGR train arrive at the Mombasa Terminus for security screening before they board the train to Nairobi on December 19, 2017.
Passenger ticket sales on the standard gauge railway (SGR) crossed a record Sh2 billion mark in the first half of the year, largely helped by a rebound in traffic and doubling of fares.
Records show that passenger ticket sales on the SGR trains commonly known as Madaraka Express raked in Sh2.068 billion in the six months to June 2025, representing a rise of 11.65 percent from the Sh1.85 billion realised over a similar period last year.
