I spotted a woman on a scooter yesterday along the very notorious nyayo-bunyala-town stretch which is the culmination of southB, MBA rd, Langata rd traffic. she probably saved herself 2 hours and tonnes in fuel money per year.
Yes this is the solution. We need a different mindset. Thats how other developed countries avoid congesting cities. Roads alone wont help achieve this. Its time people embrace other means of transport. And let the government support by building cycling lanes along all super highways and inside the city.
During SK days, there was someone who was very articulate on the issue of building Super Highways all leading to Nairobi City Center. I can't remember that thread.
Maybe its time someone revived that thread.
I find it illogical that during my kiash days, the primary mode of transport was rail and that kaprobox was just for show during weekends. In Kenya, rail is like punishment.
With all roads leading to one center, it will soon crack and these cars are becoming cheaper by the day.
Just saw a car company advertising for 100k down 20k a month cars. Guess what, everyone else will do the same and that Thika Super Highway will become Gridlock Central Highway.
