KES 1,000 for the comfort on offer is bad business costing.. They should aim to reprice it at KES 2,000 COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

The loss of jobs at the coast was not worth it. Jobs were lost and on top of it, tax payers now have to foot the SGR operational cost bill.

I use the SGR frequently and I can tell you that it's for the middle class by and large.. The intricacies involved in arriving at Miritini and exit from Syokimau isn't for someone who doesn't have funds COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

I see Shuttles in Nakuru (Molo line) operating a service straight to Syokimau SGR station scheduled to catch the train to Mombasa. I can foresee after Naivasha (Mai Mahiu) SGR leg is done matatu routes from Nyandarua, Kinangop to Naivasha SGR station to catch train to 'Mombatha'

Check where the line will terminate and dry port be set. Then look more closely. SGR maths are on cargo - hence reason it is not a light rail exclusive for high-speed passenger transport.
