I think we have suffered too much that whatever little is thrown our way we over-celebrate and thank whoever it is that delivered with reverence of the Holy Pope which is very very wrong. It just shows how our national pride, dignity and self esteem has been desecrated by our leaders. Look, commuter rail is a much needed item in Nairobi and Mombasa but that Syokimau is a poorly executed project and reeks of corruption. Don't also mix issues the Mombasa Kampala railway is the priority and infact we ought to slow down every other project and allocated resources to this yesterday. One other thing, the syokimau train uses heavy industrial diesel which is also a pollutant..decent commuter trains use electricity from the mains...

The passangers were few for peak hour, around 50.


How many cabins was the engine pulling in total?
d'oh!

Not many, maybe 6 or 7 but they are huge.


So 50 peeps in one cabin or 50 peeps in all 6 cabins?

The same "clean electricity" is being generated by burning some heavy diesel fuel someplace.

Its a convoluted world my friend.

Think Hydro, geothermal, wind...the world is not very convoluted it is we who make it by making bad choices or not making any at all. The thermal plants are meant to be temporary but they have a way of coming up before elections to provide funding- again bad choices..

Morning misadventure as new city train stalls

Didn't someone talk of (un)reliability?


The trains are prone to breakdowns at very in accessible places...so if you are to use them you shld be aware of that fact .... But the syokimau train is under very good management if it stalls the management takes very little time to salvage the situation unlike the other routes where it can take hrs or even abandonment(passegers are forced to search for alternatives) until the following day.

The New promotion is really increasing the number of people Using the train..I think it was a bright Idea....they might make the promotion permanent.I.e 100/= return.




plus free parking! i wish i lived there


If I park my car there for a whole week will they tell?


If you parked your car at JKIA for a whole week would they tell?


If you park you car at JKIA for a week, they don't ned to tell. You are the one who will tell when exiting the airport because of the amount of money you will be relieved of.

There's a day they asked we fill details as we were parking. my guess is (I hope)they will try to contact before they tow your vehicle or whatever
