Kilimani to jkir is about 20 km and a bit over half hour ride. Their published rate is about 16 bucks.
A longer 52km ride is about 38 bucks.
It’s cheap by western. Not sure how it fares against other comparable countries.

This is just taxis doing what taxis always eventually do. This whole gimmick of "we can't afford to live at these rates" is just whining because they don't like their earnings at the end of the day. I'm all for a fair price that takes into account all the costs involved and a fair margin ontop so it's a livable and respectful wage. But what Taxis eventually do is not it, they want a certain lifestyle and salary that they've been used to before ride-shares came about, and they'll eventually get violent (like they did here in SA) till they get it. Fun story, I was in an Uber here once and got chased-down by an angry taxi driver when they saw me being picked up by an Uber driver from a "protected" tourist spot.
