No Matatus To Be Allowed In Town, NMS Boss Orders
Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) in their strategy to decongest the city and ease the headache of traffic is now taking a familiar strategy. NMS is saying effective November, no matatus will be allowed to access the Central Business District (CBD).
NMS says that bus stations have been built in Ngara and Parklands where all matatus coming from Thika will offload passengers.
Buses coming from Machakos and Lang’ata will have a stage at the Railway Golf Club where the Kenya National Highways Authority (KenHA) will build an express way.
It’s also emerging that NMS had planned to flatten Pastor Nganga’s Neno Evangelism Church but a court injunction stopped the plan shifting the plans to the Railways club where plans are currently underway to put up the terminus.
To ease traffic on Haile Selassie Avenue through to Jogoo Road, NMS boss Mr Badi say Kenha will build an expressway from the Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (KPCU) building that will go straight to Jogoo road.
Mr Badi revealed that much-awaited bus rapid transit (BRT) system will also be operational by the end of this month and will be used to transport passengers from the train stations to their various destinations.
These are some of the plans that predecessors Kidero and Sonko had tried in futility.
