The major player in transportation in Mombasa City is Matatu, which is mostly 14-seater minibusses, and are quite popular amongst the residents.
A matatu ride starts from Ksh 20 just to go 500m (2018)but count on paying double if you want a vehicle which conforms to the traffic legislation.
Another better option would be to book a shuttle bus to collect you from your accommodation and drop you directly at your accommodation in Mombasa - this can be more expensive approximately costing around Ksh 1000 but is much quicker and hassle-free. The shuttles can be booked online and are run by Hakuna Mutatu bus.
The price for a tuk-tuk ride is Ksh 50-100 and boda-boda around Ksh 50.
