1. Industrial area via South B, dunga w/shop Rd
2. Upper hill and KNH
3. Westlands
4. Eastleigh via Gikomba-Juja Rd, pangani-ngara
There is no Nairobi without its suburbs-the dormitory where Wanjikus and Wekesas who works in CBD can afford rent. Any useful tram/light rail must incorporate the 30 KM radius of Nairobi - The Metropolitan. Image a reliable Tram somehow passing through, Githurai, Mwiki, Kayole,Umoja town. Kikuyu-Kangemi-Westlands-town Ngong-Kawangware,Kibera-Town. Kiserian-Rongai-Town Kitengela-Athririver-Mlolongo-Pipeline-Utawala -town. This would reduce CBD traffic by not less than 50%. Another one serving Eastlands would be crucial too. Remember most of middle-class who have cars live around there... If they can have a reliable alternative means to work...
