Reform the public(or is it the private?) transport sector

You need to realize that the biggest cause of the PSV mess is traffic Jam. Deal with this, half the PSV problems will be gone- there will be no more overlapping, fare hikes etc. In my rural, and the many rural towns I have been to, PSV transport is very well organized. Ever noted how orderly these guys become in the dead of the night when traffic is near zero?

Several Indian cities have more than 3 times the population of Nairobi, with massive numbers of bikes, tuk tuks, pedestrians n numerous tiny cars.......how comes traffic seems to flow almost continuously?

1. Redesigning our roads as a matter of urgency......
2. Discouraging use of private cars.

I doubt overpass and underpasses will help decongest.
The only solution is rail and making busses. Making public transport reliable and efficient like in Europe. I remember when I was younger the basses were scheduled and you'd at least get one every 10 mins guaranteed. Before that it was every half hour. They should create lanes that should only be used for public transport.

On this, I agree. I happened to be on Juja road recently and noticed most of the entire stretch of that road, right from Outer Ring road, has woefully inadequate bus stops, most of which can barely accomodate 2 minibuses.
