PROPOSED MODERN RAILWAY STATION

The has been no significant investment in commuter rail transport in Nairobi for many years,

No rapid mass transit system exists, Except for the new road bypasses the road

network has not expanded, The population has grown exponentially, Vehicle numbers have increased significantly, AS A RESULT THE CITY IS FACED WITH

SERIOUS TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

KR has a significant rail network around the city of Nairobi that can play a significant role in providing fast, efficient and reliable commuter services around the city

This network is under utilized and with expansion and modernization the system can provide a major alternative to commuter transport in Nairobi

KR has therefore developed concrete plans to modernize and expand the commuter rail services in Nairobi to provide a High quality High capacity Fast Reliable SafeCommuter Rail Service
