Naloki: The Engine Behind Nakuru’s Commuting Community

Before the sun even hints at rising, the Nakuru–Kabarak highway is already alive. In Mercy Njeri, Kiamunyi, and London estates, one sound cuts through the morning thrum with familiar certainty—the steady flow of Naloki vehicles. These public service vehicles have, over time, become the lifeline of Nakuru’s commuters.

Naloki’s story is stitched into the fabric of Nakuru’s pride. Born from the names Nakuru, London, and Kiamunyi, the Sacco carries an identity that is both unique and unmistakable. Its fleet runs a disciplined route, departing from their CBD stage in the Biashara Ward of Nakuru East and weaving through London and Kiamunyi, with Mercy Njeri as the final stop.

Even with its historical grounding, Naloki Sacco has continued to shape how residents and users perceive the Sacco. It is not unusual to see a person pressed for time in the morning, refusing to board another public service vehicle, only to wait a couple of minutes for Naloki. This is how the Sacco has built a reliable rapport with the community.

Naloki earns its praise not just for being reliable, but for striking the perfect balance between speed and cost. For the everyday commuter racing toward Nakuru’s CBD, two treasures are saved with every ride: precious minutes and hard-earned shillings.

Students enjoy the time-saving aspect, as they can rely on Naloki; parents can confidently let their children board these vehicles, since they know most of the operators; and businesspeople also appreciate Naloki’s existence.

For instance, take the grocery traders. Many businesswomen openly credit Naloki for keeping their enterprises alive and thriving. Its vehicles ferry fresh produce straight from Nakuru’s main market at an affordable price, ensuring stalls are stocked without delay. Thanks to Naloki’s timeliness and efficiency, these women keep their businesses running seamlessly.

Over the years, the number of Naloki vehicles has increased, cementing its role in Nakuru’s story. As a result, efficiency and effectiveness have improved, enabling more people to be served and bringing more residents together as a community in commuting.

Naloki’s value grows with every passing day, etched into the routines of Nakuru’s people.At first light, its engines announce the city’s awakening; by nightfall, that same steady hum carries workers, students, and families safely back home. More than a Sacco, Naloki has become the heartbeat of Nakuru’s daily life.
