Total Time 9.5 hours I know math is a difficult thing but how long do you think it will take the average Kenyan to say he has seen enough relis in his life. There must be a way that connects commuters to a transport hub. If someone has not thought about that, then there's going to be a problem here. Sawa? Tumeelewana? Na nimekwambia, take that bus no problem. I took a bus in November and swore to NEVER AGAIN. Left Nrb 10:30 got to Msa past 11:00am Traffic at mariakani miritini is TERRIBLE. Had a 10pm ticket back got to Nrb past 10am tired, my fellow passengers had swollen feet so even after getting to town I had to get a cab....so wacha mimi nipande reli. Get to the bus, haujaambiwa usipande basi ama ndege..Madaraka express ni another option. Hustler cost from Bamburi to Kiambu on SGR Bamburi to town 50/- matatu Town to Miritini morning 40/- Boda to station entrance 50/- Train 700 Boda from Nairobi terminal to town 50/- By the lunatic Town to kiambu 50/- Total cost 890/- Time 4.5hrs train 2 hrs connecting 9am to 3pm Plus soon we shall have buses going there just like to the airport you can take city hopper Thought you first board the Magongo matatu, before connecting with the Miritini ones and alight at the very end? And viola! There is your SGR Proverbs 19:21

When I first wrote about this issue, wewe na wengine ambao ni ma ostrich said it was a non-existent issue. The reli was perfect. I laid down my facts. Now look. The powers that you bow down too listened to me and not you. The issue of the last mile is a major issue. Even now with the reli buses which would not have existed without my posts on wazua are only on offer until June 6th...After that, what? The problem is still there. Sometimes it's good to accept when you are wrong and try to fix issues rather than thinking everything on this earth is about Nasa vs Jubilee. If it is tedious to get to that reli, it will sink. Read you own links tafadhali. Quote: The corporation plans to release a schedule of the trips by the end of next week. “During this promotion period, we are working the best timings to offer passengers. We already have a draft but we are also consulting passengers on their preferred timings for travel with Madaraka Express.” Ipso facto, there was no way to get people to use the reli. They don't even have a schedule. They are running buses as a promotion. There is still no permanent solution to this issue which can kill any transportation system. They have to figure it out soon rather than later. The Chinese are going to start charging interest soon. Tumeelewana? Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

I guess that you also complain that your fare to town is 150 Bob and not the matatu advertised 50 Bob because you have to hire a boda boda at 50 Bob to take you from your shack in mukuru-kwa-Njenga to the matatu stage....and back.

Cubicle?Do not dream! The first class are just wide seats which can swing 180 degreea, can lie some 125 degrees,are wider than your matatu seats...and that's it folk. The sleeper cubicle you will need to board the famous Lunatic Express. "Kenyans" asked for faster trains,with it went the romantic trips...with high speeds the journey is not an event but just a means to get to the event.
