No matatus in CBD from next week.

[Reyrey]

It’s about time.

[Bangaiza_Salinga]

Publicity stunt, not practical.

This will be taken to court / petitioned & will be thrown out! They know this they are just enforcing it so that it be seen that ‘wanafanya kazi’

Edit: can’t relate, am hardly in the CBD anyway!

@Mathaais

Commuters take note and those without comfortable walking shoes it’s time you invested in
one.

@Okwonkwo

does that make sense? mbona nishukie mat ngara or Muthurwa then nipande ingine to moi avenue?

It does’nt but there are very lazy people who can pay to be shuttled for a distance of 500 meters

[D_Mungai]

Shida ni security especially at night kutembea from tao hadi stage. This is where even muggers will get mugged

@Nattydread

Diesel fumes of idling PSVs in the CBD reduced by 75% mara moja. Now let us work towards electric trams to feed the periphery and those termini. We can do it if we did SGR against a chorus of cynics.

Sure, been in one of the developed cities for few weeks now na transport system iko juu sana…kama tunaweza fikia hata nusu by 2030 it will be encouraging.

[ATTACH=full]126215[/ATTACH] Rwathia Group wenye downtown walipeleka mashida zao kwa Ouru. Kidero sold all parking spaces in downtown to Matatu Operators making business difficult for them.

@Ice_Cube

but its a very demanding undertaking. Roads have to be widened since they run in the middle of the roads to allow for cars to also use the same. Or they may opt for the elevated option like the elevated Chicago metro. All these are still expensive but way over due

metro ya Kuala Lumpur is elevated juu they faced the same problems we are facing now…where to get more space to widen the roads.

Yes, because town has become a parking lot for 1000’s of matatus awaiting their turn to pick up passengers. Whole streets are take up from Kimathi Street onwards. Time to reorganize the mess. Let’s have dedicated buses into CBD only that move constantly between stages instead of waiting. At least this was discussed and agreed with their saccos first.

The saccos will pretend to agree then go back on their word.

@Ubongo

Last time @spear spoke about trams, he said feasibility study was being done and the former county government of Nairobi was uncooperative. Maybe before the end of the five years we shall witness ground breaking

President Uhuru formed Namata to go through all these proposals, designs and studies and implement a network of mass transport. From matatu reforms to BRT, Mono rail and light commuter train. Kazi kwao. Let the elections end for the work to begin.

Actually I fear that as well especially if it hits them in the pocket. Kenyans ni kulazimishwa tu. Remember how they initially rejected the Muthurwa station. Kila mtu wants to get to CBD then they complain of Traffic jam.

[system]

The same Sonko went for a court order to allow his Matatus serving Buru Buru to be allowed to enter the CBD back 2006 when Matatu operation had been banned by the council.

Karma is a bitch.

[Okwonkwo]

expect a Matatu operators strike soon. If they were not “consulted” on these changes.
