Those shop owners need to sue, when hawkers are out there , they cant sell since these people place stuff on their doors. Another thing, seems like Gov is not on board with this one his silence is too loud. Why not have a workable hawkers market and hike the parking fees to 1000? or introduce toll cameras on each road entering or getting our of the CBD.

The 'car free day' was to test waters on what can be done to 'create demand' for BRT. That said, ever since parking charges were lowered traffic jam has really worsened. How is this helping anybody??? Why lower parking charge instead of increasing???

President Macron says France to build CBD to JKIA commuter rail link by 2021. https://www.standardmedi...ain-to-be-ready-by-2021
Chinese SGR company also undertaking commuter railway improvement which includes the Sh10 billion rehabilitation of four existing lines (Nairobi Central Station to Ruiru, Nairobi Central Station to Embakasi Village, Nairobi Central Station to Kikuyu, and Nairobi Central Station to Kitengela.) The investment also includes the acquisition of refurbished Diesel Multiple Units (DMU’s) as well as the building of a public transport network from Ruiru to Athi River.
Note: Seems there will be a new direct line from Ruiru to Athi river.

We need to raise our bars and start interrogating scandals starting from their inception, skimming, thieving, Kinoti's investigation and finally judiciary theatrics. ....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

That 20 hour traffic jam on Nairobi-Nakuru road makes you wish they could revive the Nairobi-Nakuru-Kisumu railway line. I cant imagine being stuck in traffic for 20 hours with hungry children who also need to go to the restroom.

Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

I also wonder that road designers do not factor truck stops on any major highways save those on petrol stations/malls. i once witnessed an embarrassing situation at Maguna's in Sagana with limited facilities and a holiday crowd, ladies were queuing to use the gents.

Someone please tell Sonko. Some lady was telling us how she got awfully pressed while getting into town hapo Serena at dusk. The traffic was at a standstill. She just switched off her car, went past the sidewalk and did her thing. Aibu ni wewe. So yes, you have a point.

All petrol stations are required by law to have restrooms/toilets for use by motorists. So one should just drive to the nearest petrol station and do the necessary. Passengers in matatus, uber etc too can ask the driver to stop at the nearest petrol station. That said I always have a plastic bottle in the car in case of emergencies. Also nowadays there are gadgets that a woman can use in the car when stuck in traffic. https://img.dxcdn.com/pr...timages/sku_423905_1.jpg

Brace for Thika Road traffic nightmare as contractor closes two lanes. Motorists using the Thika Superhighway will for the next one month face a traffic nightmare after the urban roads authority announced the closure of two lanes to allow for the construction of an overpass. The overpass is being constructed in the Allsopps area. https://nairobinews.nati...ractor-closes-two-lanes

But surely how does one fix it with passengers in the car?Or my kids? What about the fa$ts tha accompany a nice pee?
