Good question. The answer would be , build trams to serve the city center. Say from Muthurwa terminus crisscross all the way to westie and then to Ngara ama another terminus those sides of Thika road and then at Nyayo stadium to serve Mbs road; benefits,
-That way no mats in CBD which will also reduce the carbon emissions and noise.
-Then make the fares cheap.
-This will not send matatus out of bizna and it will not be very expensive to build.
-The security problem will be addressed. Hakuna kuogopa hijacks within the city
-Extend operation hours mpaka kitu 1AM.
na much more
