Renowned bus company Easy Coach has announced the passing of its founding director and former Managing Director, Azym Dossa.
In a statement on Thursday, February 26, the company said it was deeply saddened by his passing, describing him as a visionary leader whose guidance and dedication shaped Easy Coach from its earliest days.
The company did not provide details of his death, including the time of passing and the cause of the death.
Dossa, a renowned businessman, has been at the helm of Easy Coach for the past 23 years. His journey in the transport industry started with a humble beginning.
After working as a chief financial officer on a contract for 17 years, Dossa decided to pursue his passion and venture out on his own.
Along with a few friends who shared his vision, he founded Easy Coach in 2003 with just seven buses operating between Nairobi and Kisumu.
Right from the start, Dossa had a clear vision for his bus company – to provide safe, comfortable, and convenient travel options for passengers.
He believed in putting customer satisfaction at the forefront, even if it meant incurring short-term losses. Dossa focused on providing a superior travel experience for passengers, and he paid attention to every detail, from the seating configuration to the facilities provided on boar
One of the unique features that set Easy Coach apart from other bus companies was the seat configuration. Dossa chose buses that offered ample legroom and comfort, ensuring that passengers had a comfortable journey, especially on long-distance routes.
In addition to the seating, Easy Coach also provided facilities like waiting lounges and washrooms, which were not common in the industry at that time. These efforts to prioritize customer satisfaction quickly earned Easy Coach a reputation as a reliable and customer-centric bus company
Today, the company operates a fleet of over 100 buses plying various routes within the country, including Nairobi, Malaba, Kitale, Sirare, Mumias, and Busia.
Easy Coach also offers letters and parcels courier services to each of the over 30 branches where it operates.
The company’s Board of Management stated that Dossa’s contribution to the transport sector and his role in building Easy Coach into a recognised brand will remain a lasting part of its history.
“Mr. Dossa’s vision, integrity, and unwavering dedication were instrumental in shaping Easy Coach from its earliest beginnings. His leadership laid the foundation of the organization we are today, and his legacy will continue to guide and inspire us for years to come,” the statement reads.
“On behalf of the Board, Management, and the entire Easy Coach family, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him,” it added.
