The Nairobi Regeneration Committee has proposed car-free days, Wednesdays and Saturdays, in the Central Business District and Westlands in a bid to decongest the city.
Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia, who is a member of the committee, said the proposal is part of an ambitious initiative to tackle the problem of congestion in Nairobi.
On Wednesday (jana?), Nairobi County executive in charge of Roads, Transport and Infrastructure Mr Mohammed Dagane said that the move will boost the culture of using public transport in the capital city.
He added that the move will get a boost as the bus termini where matatus were supposed to be relocated to are already complete and the relocation of Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) from the city centre will be done by the end of June and will coincide with the introduction of the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT).
Ng’ombe zinapropose car free days na wao bado watakuwa wanaingia tao na fuel guzzlers zao? Millions paid in sitting allowance only to come up with such garbage “ideas”.
Idea si mbaya saaaana, lakini hao wakubwa wenye wameisuggest, watalead by example kweli? Alafu hii Kenya yetu yenye mtu hukojoa chini ya warning ya “usikojoe hapa”, nani atakubali hiyo idea? Iyo haiwesmake.
Its a good idea, but public transport should be sorted kwanza then this will make sense.
Then watu wa ngeta pia to be kept in check.
Going the kigali way may help people to start thinking differently
