They can ferry commuters from say CBD to KU area. KU in turn can build a large car park and make some money from it, commuters would park there and ride on a train/bus to the city. replicate that on Ngong road, Waiyaki Way, Msa road, Langata Road, RIng Road etc and you are good to go for another 50 or so years. Ban even 17 seaters they need strictly large buses & double deckers. i.am.back!!!!

Before all these blue prints happen simple and effective enforcement of the existing traffic act and the highway code would do.

Anaa thng they should urgently do is to create sufficient and wide bus stops so that ma3 and other psvs will not stop right in the middle of the road to pick passengers thus causing traffic snarl up. Then they can arrest and charge those vehicles stopping right in the middle of the road to pick pax,also those pax who boards psv at non designated stops must be arrested and charged. Portfolio: Sold

The cars that need not be on the road every day are those belonging to city residents from high density city estates such as umoja, buru, Kasarani etc. For such estates preference should be given to high capacity buses with dedicated lanes for radius of 10 km from cbd. And if I stay in umoja and work in westlands, why would I need to alight in cbd to connect? There should be a bus from umoja traveling to westlands, another to hurlingam, upperhill etc. Jalopies only need be used by those who stay in diaspora or outskirts, where it is not possible to operate high capacity buses either due to poor roads or low population

For example this morning, matatus had choked the exit from Sarit roundabout to Parklands Road. This despite 5 cops stationed at the roundabout. The officer controlling traffic from Lower Kabete Road to the roundabout was perplexed, yet a layman like me saw the problem so easily. Maybe he or his bosses own the matatus hence cannot enforce anything. NKT! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming
