    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, although currently the bulk of the private operators provide public transport, we have intervened through the provision of train services, and we are expanding that in the course of this financial year. We should be opening up a new line between Nairobi Railway Station and Embakasi, which will enhance the capacity of public transport in that area. Experiments in the past like the Nyayo Bus Service were major disasters. I do not believe that we want to go that direction any time soon. We will be working with various players in the public transport industry, first of all with emphasis on safety, reduction of road carnage, public comfort and also ensuring the timeliness, so the people can be able to get in and out of work at the appointed time. I would want to ask that by the time we work through the initiatives that we are having, I would be happy to come and share with this House the policy measures that we would have put in place to ensure that we have sound public transport in this country. That will also be tied to fair competition and ensuring that price is affordable to the people."
