Yet another Matatu CBD Ban Thread

Let us not miss this chance to make Nairobi a cycling city. Introduce bike lanes, bicycle parking, bike-sharing programs etc. Perhaps even showering areas around the city for those who cycle to work.

nice idea but if they try it’ll will become another cash cow for greedy corrupt pple.

Ferk cycling 20+ km. Makende zitakwisha kabisa. Do you people who say such stuff even cycle? I cycle for fun in Kenya forest on weekends and that’s about the only time it’s fun. Cycling at 6pm for kilometres after a long day is not my cup of tea.

If Sonko does not have a good plan to cover (caugh metro bus) for the shit he’s causing tutapambana na yeye kwa barrot…

Cheki Manenos zicome through maze.

Ukiona maisha ya Nairobi imekuwa ngumu sana unarudi ocha. Hata kama ulizaliwa hapo Moi Avenue.

People might think you are elitist and/or arrogant but that is the truth. Nairobi ikikushinda rudi tuu ocha. Maisha huko sio mbaya vile watu wanafikiria. Nyumba ni cheap, chakula ni fresh, hakuna traffic. Heck, you can even get something to be bringing for sell to Nairobi.

What if ocha is between Pokot and marakwet?

I don’t think cycling can work in Nairobi.
First of all, Nairobi did not develop like those European cities. In Nairobi, most of the central part of the city is commercial, and residential areas are quite far.
When European cities were growing, there were no cars, so people used to live within the city centre. Therefore no long distances to work.

In Amsterdam, an average person will cycle to work for just 2km.
Here in Nairobi, most people live 10km+ outside their place of work.
You can’t cycle that far.

Bado ni ocha. Lakini unaeza hamia rural kajiado if your case is that extreme.

Nashindwa mbona watu hawataki kufanya zoezi?? I mean walk is the lightest form of exercise to indulge in. Maze for once lets support developmental ideas. Si kila kitu ni kupinga. Am pretty sure if we see this idea grow to fruitation, it will have good outcomes like watu watapunguza vitambi leading to mnyanduano poa pia dream of decongesting the cbd will be real. Think my frens…think.

Are we not ready for a metro or at least a tram?

Siwezi nikacheka mwenzangu ambaye amefanya ‘typo’. Yafaa ukumbuke kwamba si kila mtu ni bingwa wa kimombo. Hii lugha ya wenyewe. Mwanakijiji msaidie mwenzako si kumcheka. But the message you got it niggah!!!
