That transport system could be the Nairobi Metropolitan Transport system that is being designed. A mass rapid transport system is what is essential in Nairobi, not just for the City, but for Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado counties. A light rail is the way to go. It does not matter how much we expand our roads, but as long as the volume of vehicles is increasing, we will always experience traffic jams in this country. The reason this is happening is that people who live in Kajiado drive their vehicles to this city. For instance, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
