No school buses mashambani. my kids walk to school, and in their school only the headmaster owns a car which is mostly ground - thus my confusion on the connection between schools and traffic jam. Lakini the schools I see mentioned hapa ni strath, braeburn, loreto, st austin, st marys, rundan - to be honest never seen those school buses the few times I get to visit nairobi, ama I just stick to my lane.

True and I understand that, just a query that I have always had, since I rarely see the school buses say on jogoo road, or mombasa road or muranga road - but if the said effect of the school buses and kids being dropped is restricted to the school locations then that makes sense. Well, my bad - I thought the majority traffic situation is attributed to schools closing, lakini it seems its in some specific areas.

chiaroscuro wrote:nakujua wrote:Not sure if this has been asked before, but how do schools increase or cause the massive traffic jams. I saw the answer on tweeter... by some genius.... You live in Kilimani and work in Westlands with kids at Rusinga School. During school term you travel up to Kawangware to drop the kids and then to Westie. During holidays you just travel to Westie. During school term you will spend more time on the road than during holiday so you will add to the congestion. When things become too much, you buy an extra car for school rounds adding even more to the jam. Word. I know a family that lives in Kiambu. One kid goes to Riara [Riara Road, dropped/picked by a driver who does errands in between], the other is at St Bakhita in South B [dropped by the dad who works in Inda]....

Budget Estimate:
1.Traffic Modelling (CBD, Westlands, Bunyala, Lusaka, Kiganjo Avenue Bridge)-KES 30 M
2.Civil Works; CBD, Westlands, Bunyala, Lusaka, Kiganjo Avenue Bridge)-KES 25 M
3. Removal of 5 No Roundabout on A104 (University Way, Kenyatta Av, Haille Selassie, Bunyala Rd, Lusaka Rd)-KES 288M.
4.Contingency-KES 45 M
Total KES 388M
So the traffic lights(400M) and removal of roundabouts (388M) will cost the tax payer KES 788M.This excludes the fees paid to the consulting firm
Timeline
1.Press conference to sensitise the public on rerouting of traffic on A104. Newspaper / FM Radio-I day by CS/Governor.
2.Mobilisation and implementation of A104 (Westlands, Bunyala Rd, Lusaka Rd, Kiganjo Av Bridge)-4 weeks by task force implementation team.
3. Monitoring of traffic movements for the above-1 week by task force implementation team.
4.Removal of Roundabouts and replacement with signalised junctions-4 weeks by taskforce implementation team.
5.Review and identify suitable decongestion measures for Arterial Roads-12 weeks by taskforce decongestation committe
The drums I saw? i.am.back!!!!

I adapt to many situations and believe that open easy communication is key to a fulfilling livelihood. I thrive in fluctuating environments which in turn has sharpened my creative self. With one eye always on the target, the other one can always be on the lookout enabling me to make better use of limited resources and improving the frugal me. I am also pragmatic and avoid theories. My queries are usually honest, to the point and aimed at not only enriching my contemplation but also of others who would not have been privy to the same. Its with a very burdened heart that I contemplate your accusation, touching on my seriousness or lack thereof. The jury is out, and barring you @washiku I highly doubt anyone else can as much as imagine my inquiries to be anything but sincere.
