That 3K waiting lounge should have 65 inch tv set with nice brown leather seats...all facing towards the tv.
Plus free water dispensers, and of course some copies of nondescript old newspapers and magazines just to make the guest feel like they are very important.

reality settling in Buses back to business . Try Nirobi -Mombasa Buses both ways fully booked

Hustling to Miritini then connecting from Syokimau to is stuff for middo crass.

Kawaida Mwananchi wants end to end seamless connectivity

Let kawaida mwananchi stick to their lanes.

I rode the Inter-county train 2 weeks ago from Syokimau to Kibwezi @ 400/= and it was full. Cost me 30 bob from Nairobi Railway bus stage to SGR stage mombasa road and a 10 minute walk to SGR station. From Kibwezi to my destination [Machinery town] cost me 100/=]. Was far much cheaper than driving down and only took 2 Hrs....and also safer. Only downside is the SGR stations are located far out from the town e.g from Kibwezi SGR station you have to get a boda boda @50/= to Kibwezi town. And also SGR should have a late evening/night train. Most travellers would love to travel early to town served by SGR, do their business and catch the evening train back to the city.

If the buses are back to pre-SGR business it just means that the pie has grown bigger i.e there are more people traveling to Mombasa.

No bado sisi watu ya Rongai iko na stage mbili ya SGR, Rongai and Ngong.
