Yep. I am a user of this road and I tel you that the kidogo jama we are experiencing at the moment cannot remotely compare to pre China Thika road. Of course the last few days have been crazy expecially when they were doing the foot bridge at Pangani.

...I agree with you @quicksand let other areas also be opened up so that the pressure isnt on only one side of the city,atleast they are doing the bomas,karen,langata road junction that will definetly help a bit when its over come May...now imagine if we dint have the age limit rule for rides in this country,traffic would have been HELL...@mukiha who originated this thread 3years back was right after all

@yekeyeke;
Cool down bro/sis. The problem with insults is that they tend to cover the good points. And you do have some good points...

The people of Thika road can ride in Trains if the carriages are comfortable, clean and run on a reliable timetable. In fact, the trains don't have to be the "High Speed" kind in order to "out-run" the dilapidated Matatus that the people use. Don't forget that there are no traffic jams on the railway line - cars must stop to let the train pass.

Yes; I have ridden in a comfortable train. This was the "InterCity 125" of the UK way back in the 1980s. It had two claases [1st for the rich and 2nd for the common Mwananchi]. If you do go to the UK, try it... these days the call it "Class 43"

No; I do not feel that the bypass money should have been spent elsewhere.

No; I did not study economics in school at any level. However, I do know that the phrase "transport infrastructure" includes railways, airports etc. Oh; and roads as well!!

Amongst all these, roads are the most inefficient mode of mass-transportation of goods and people.

Bottleneck is at Pangani.

3. Current exit/entry from highway to/from park road should be made into an entry only.. Build an exit point some 100m away from that junction so that guys can use Desai road instead of park road.
