Traffic Jams In Nairobi could soon be a thing of the past as New City Shuttle mass transit buses are Unveiled in the City

KENYA: A test drive of the City Shuttle mass transit buses on Mombasa Road, through the city centre and to the Kencom bus terminus caused a stir among Nairobi residents.

The arrival of the buses come as a good news to Nairobians due to the fact that Traffic jams in the congested city may soon be a thing of the past.

TruckMart East Africa Limited sales executive Mehul Sachdev said four such buses with the capacity to ferry 120 passengers are available for sale.

He said the buses would help to decongest city roads since they are designed to carry both standing and seated passengers.

“One of these buses will remove four buses from the road and it will hence reduce traffic jams in the city as it is fitted to carry 62 sitting and 70 standing passengers,” said Mr Sachdev.

He said the government had taken long to improve the existing infrastructure so they decided to bring in the vehicles in a bid to put more pressure on officials.

Mr Sachdev added that the company has started training drivers and once the vehicles are fully adapted they will open training schools.

City Shuttle directors told the Nation they will call a press conference next week to brief Nairobi residents on the new buses.
