Perfect. I was in opposition but when Sakaja laid down his plans I was amazed about his unique approach to the much needed solutions. I support him fully. We don't need Matatu chaotic scenes, hooting, touts shouting pulling people everywhere, cons and hawkers occupying every inch of the pedestrian walkway slowing everyone down and cut on revenue because time is money.
Remember that you are talking about Nairobi not Canada we don't have that type of infrastructure for now. Why should we copy from others yet we can improve our own.
Must we copy everything from someone or somewhere,why don't we embrace our own Kenyan system built by us ,serves us meets our own immediate needs based on our own culture,not comparing everything from those whose whom you persive to get it all right.
I wish all Kenyans understand this. Let's stop hii Ukenya Yetu. Sometimes we're behaving hooligans. Uwezi kupinga everything including good things that are meant to benefit you
We are third world country and if the plan is applied there shall be rise of unemployment people in Kenya feed their families with those called noise pollution
Whoever bequeathed Nairobi the matatu system alituuza sana. The Kenya Bus Services were excellent back when Nairobi was the Green City in the Sun. Now we have a matatu, hawker, boda boda, trash and noise-filled dump!
Today in Rome there were no cars allowed in the city. You either take a tram or train or bus. No private cars in the city. At least also the city can breath and clear the smoke a bit.
Yes, we can buy trams. But maintenance Kwa wakenya? All the fare will go into people's pockets like it's happening with SGR. Finally there will be no money to maintain or replace them. Lakini, you've not told us kama Kuna matatu in Melbourne. And how will the Melbourne model work for us? Ours is a city without parking spaces anywhere, inside or outside CBD. All the land that would have afforded us parking spaces was grabbed by kenyattas, Mois and their cronies.
This is what we need in our major towns. Public transport is not about saving the so called cultures. It's about moving as many people as possible quickly, efficiently, cleanly, and in a cost effective way. It's unfortunate to see even from JKIA, our main airport there's no reliable public transport.
Change is as good as rest! Once Nairobi embraces this system it will be over and done with cartels and revenue will increase a hundredfold, and Nairobi will be the actual city in the sun!
You could've done this at home. Don't know why we need to know that you're in Australia while talking about Kenya. You're not in Kenya so don't ask the people why they protesting.

Gachagua is the thorn! unfortunately…,
Politicians in Africa or Kenya knows all this things. Some of them studied in this Countries. They only went back home to steal from their own.
Well done. Pregnant points superbly driven home. That is how we need our Nairobi central business district. Period!
This a good idea unfortunately it will not work because we always had powerless government run by heartless cartels . This they will never consider.
👍true, but what it takes is the elephant in the room.
Good work. Let other Kenyans living in diaspora bring solutions not critics
I wish all Kenyans understand this. Let's stop hii Ukenya Yetu. Sometimes we're behaving hooligans. Uwezi kupinga everything including good things that are meant to benefit you
Haki si uniite huko
uku si Australia bro shughulika na ya uko
Matatus are so third world
Please tag, the president and sakaja, great idea
Very true
Na hii ukabila ama hizo trum ziwekwe wapi
We are third world country and if the plan is applied there shall be rise of unemployment people in Kenya feed their families with those called noise pollution
Over here in New Jersey we call them light rails…they are all over. A city needs to be decongested to ease flow.

The biggrst problem in Kenya is that this fight is. Because the people who own matatus are either friends of the people fighting Sakaja.
This is kenya 200yrs From now
TRAM TRANSPORT IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO CBD TRANSPORT SOLUTION! Matatu’s can operate outside CBD ZONE!
Shida sio kutembea, shida ni Wizi, shida ya pili ni Mizigo mingi mingi wakenya wanabebana huku na kule huko kwenu security iko poa.
Corruption in Kenyaaa…akhhh
ww nyamaza kenye sio Australia mamaza bana

Wewe unga imepanda bei bro then unataka ipande zaidi… Na wasee wa ma3 utawapea job ama…..?
Good One mtu wetu
Matatu can go to town just manage the numbers
Do you pay toilet back there?
That is Good plan but first of all Tram uses electricity and nairobi can’t even manage electricity cause every time no electricity in the city.
Mkikuyu atauliza kama tutakula tram
These is awesome.
Mahasola…kamagera ndo shida
He should tame his Askari, thy b come conductors was stage zote wanapewa 50 kushukisha wateja
😂😂Matatu cartels will not allow this to happen, the cartels profit from the chaos in Nairobi…Good luck
You're talking sense my brother. Educate them by showing them of how it works.
Change meant to improve is the best
Good one
Those mats kwanza huenda vibaya sana tao. Easily causes accidents to pedestrians and other motorists

We only need two lines for Nbo. From UoN/Central Police Station to Railways. The second, from Uhuru Park, Down to Race Course Rd, to Pangani
How about using the matatus in an orderly manner. Matatu’s are a Kenyan sensation. Tran is a e we foreign phenomena.
ntafika aje Australia bro?
Gud job brother, unfortunately evrything in Kenya is politicized,even the most basic things,
You could've done this at home. Don't know why we need to know that you're in Australia while talking about Kenya. You're not in Kenya so don't ask the people why they protesting.
I support that.
