Now why is it so hard for kidraw to stand out of the box and realize that other than the issue of roads and confusion created by traffic cops, the other main contributor to traffic chaos is large no.of private cars? Any solution that does not seek to make public transport the natural choice is just a partial one

CBD itakuwa much better This was tried before when all matatus from eastlands were to drop and pick passenegers at Muthurwa, all it achieved was once massive traffic jam from Donholm to Muthurwa. This city is too dirty for walks. You are making wrong comparisons. No footpaths,sewage,garbage strewn all over,thugs. Its disgusting and dangerous to walk . I d rather keep my obesity than walk some of our roads. I dont know who are behind our city planning cz we dont have footpaths,working sewarage or drainage systems,the existing are overworked and have broken down. Nbo is not a city. In addition we walk like wildebeasts - In all directions,rough,shoving and pushing and spitting. ok I am done.

What with so many sweaty Kenyans who walk without respecting personal space?

Any solution that does not seek to make public transport the natural choice is just a partial one I did not want to be the first one to suggest that! We had this discussion in the blue section and we were called names for suggesting that we should encourage public transport while discouraging private cars If you make it more incovenient to use public eg terminate mats at Muthurwa, Ngara etc, this will encourage more guys to come with their jalopies and traffic will increase If you still think PSVs are the cause of heavy traffic, wait for the next matatu strike. See how the roads will be clogged up

Esp at GPO, and KENCOM Affordable public MASS transport is the key. If you still have thousands of 33 seater ma3 ferrying people around they will still congest the stages even if they were to park for 2 minutes to pick pax and leave.

I dont know of any Kenya who will enjoy waking up at 2am in order to report to work at 4am so that they can return home at say midday!
