Nonsense article. Hogwash press. These chonolists should look at the facts first before rushing to write inaccurate articles...

Same discussions like in the 'Thika road expansion was a mistake' thread

Govt will ignore and build more expressways and induce more demand and more traffic will turn up. Let them do as they please. As soon as the expressway is opened the traffic jams will return as people will move from Nairobi to Machakos and Dustbowl

Actually, matatus cause jam not by numbers but by sheer stupidity. Look at the Westlands stage everyday, and you will realise it takes just 5 matatus to cause a jam. They stop on the road, block off lanes, dont move, no courtesy etc.

The main cause of jam in Nairobi is stupidity, 50% psvs, 50% traffic cops.

I fully agree. One good example is the Outering/GSU junction where it is total chaos everyday. The GM stage on Mombasa road is another problematic area. The Mathare mental hospital is another mismanaged section of Thika road as well as gardencity(bumps).Lets not even talk about the madness on outering road where matatus have informal terminus from Thika road all the way to Eastern bypass.

They also have Matatus in South Africa. However, unlike in Kenya, Matatus there are express i.e., if you live in Baba dogo you board a matatu in Baba dogo and it is express to CBD and vice versa.Hakuna mambo ya shukisha survey.

Also, the robots there work and you will never find stupid idle cops stopping vehicles vi holela holela. Jay walking is also illegal and most importantly No speed bumps and zebra crossing on the expressway.
