''Mobile ticketing will also be considered as a component of the online module to address the situation,'' KR said in the statement. Hersi wondered why passengers were still being required to present themselves physically at the stations to make the purchase for tickets. In some instances, some unscrupulous parties have been taking advantage of the fairly available ticket prices by buying them in plenty and selling them at inflated prices to passengers. ''This will address the issue of unscrupulous purchase and resale of tickets at a premium,'' KR stated. KR reiterated that tickets for Madaraka Express are only purchased at the Mombasa and Nairobi termini or through the Mpesa service.
