Average number of customers for every boda boda rider per day

Every day, millions of Kenyans rely on boda-bodas to commute to work, attend school, and access markets.

The sector’s contribution extends beyond its economic value; it has a profound social impact, empowering over 2.5 million operators to support their families.

According to a survey, boda-boda operators earn an average of Sh1,100 per day over six working days, collectively generating Sh660 billion annually.

This income not only sustains households but also circulates through local economies, boosting spending in small businesses and local markets.

With Kenya’s GDP estimated at Sh15.11 trillion by the Central Bank of Kenya, it follows that the boda-boda sector contributes at least 4.4% to the country’s overall GDP.
