Anybody investing in the sector wud be required to cough some extra cash at the initial but with time people would catch up. Maybe the govt would start off by investing in such and the private sector would slowly pick up. Instead of investing heavily on entertainment stuff like wifi, screens, dstvs, fancy seats etc which are more of a luxury, we can focus more on security and with time the rest will follow. Mechanical Engineers in the house, any suggestion? This could be the time to come up with such ideas...get funding...design such a vehicle...take it for stress tests and invite the whole world to see it work. Once the idea works in Kenya we can then export them to other countries too
Transport by bus and coach is the
safest mode of road travel. However
every year, around 20,000 European
buses and coaches are involved in
crashes causing injury or death
producing 30,000 casualties,
150 of
whom die. ..
