About time we doubled private cars import duty. Other than enriching the japs n draining our economy, what real economic benefit do these personal cars serve?

Boss, you want the 'middle-class' to stop taking huge crippling loans to buy their mitumba cars? Ati you haven't 'arrived' until you take a loan to buy a demio or an allion.

I say, raise the parking fees to Ksh500, raise petrol prices to Ksh130 a litre and import duty to 200%. Watu wanunue bicycles.

Hata parking boys should raise their rate from between 20-50 to 100-500.

Insurance premiums pia ziende juu to 15% of the car value

Car wash waongeze ifike 1k.


lol! But let's get serious about the duty n levy. There is urgent need to discourage private car craze.

True, actually the biggest value for cops is to prevent or breakup gridlocks - stopping and releasing traffic can easily be achieved with the traffic lights.

Unless we have cameras everywhere, watu watalala kwa barabara without cops.

hehehe, trust me kenyans will start importing those 14 seat diesel matatus, or the mini-buses for personal use.

Wacha nitoe.....the lynching never came.

lol!

Bus fare won't be affected much. Remember the middo class can be ruthlessly stubborn. Some will stick to their cars in utter rebellion.... but once the pockets bleed dry, watatoklezea moja moja kwa stage. A gradual rise in pax numbers will be realized, and as you know, the sector is too fluid. A slight increase in earnings will see a quick rush to LSHS- more buses etc.


If the jam is contained, quick trips will mean lesser fares. One of the major causes of fare instability is traffic jam. The mats crawl very slowly to town, only to find overcrowded stages full of. desperate travellers. Result: instant hike!

An equilibrium will present itself
