[Mishale]

good news as Mataus vow to support Badi.
will the users/passengers/nairobians support the general the way we did with the late Michuki in 2003?
(let's hope the veteran matatu Sacco owners will also agree.

Matatu, boda-boda operators pledge to support relocation plans
Monday, November 16, 2020


What you need to know:

• Operators laud government for engaging them in the relocation process.
• NMS has embarked on a strategy to decongest Nairobi’s CBD by relocating matatus from the city centre.

Matatu and boda-boda operators in Nairobi have resolved to support the relocation of Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) from Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD).
The operators, under their umbrella Union, Matatu and Boda-Boda Operators Federation, said they will work together with Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) in the proposed plan.

The new federation's national chairperson, Kushian Muchiri, said they have agreed with NMS Director General Mohammed Badi to move out of the city centre once the termini being constructed are complete.
Mr Muchiri said that they have also agreed that boda-boda operators will be allocated stages to act as last mile connectors.

“Mr Badi has incorporated us in the plan and assured us that no one will be forcefully removed, and that we will be given time to organise ourselves as saccos. So for the first time there will be no confrontations,” said Mr Muchiri.

National chair of Boda-Boda Association of Kenya (UBAK), Kenneth Onyango, said they have agreed to work together with NMS.
“We are ready to work with NMS since they have involved us in their plans,” said Mr Onyango.

The federation’s national coordinator, Samson Wainaina, lauded the national government for finally recognising boda-boda and matatu operators and engaging them in the relocation process.

Decongest city centre
“We pledge to work together with the government to streamline the industry and remove cartels who have invaded it,” he said.
NMS, in September, embarked on a strategy to decongest Nairobi’s CBD by setting in motion plans to relocate matatus from the city centre.

most of them are too tiny for the current traffic, kama hiyo ya fig tree, piga hesabu mats za koja roundabout peke zitajaza, halafu pia kuna za waiyaki way zile hufunga latema road, enda hiyo ya desai road ,mat za githurai 44 na 45 peke zitajaza, hata usiangalie za kasarani na thika town plus mt kenya region

but all in all we have to start from somewhere, let's hope it can work considering the railway line is operational. next they get rid of long distance buses za western by reintroducing passenger trains to western and the riftvalley, i think in the long-term they will hack it
they can also as well reduce government offices in CBD.

Napanda train to Ruiru for a 100 bob. Then take a mat to Nyeri. In 1.5 hours nakula ngwaci nyumbani...
If there is support from waadhiriwa,the travelling masses,this should work.
Tulitembea wakati wa you rattle a snake even now we can and actually should. Ndo tupate amani in the CBD.

The Green Park Bus terminus adopts a similar design to the Greyhound Terminus in New York, United States.



Like our 2010 katiba, a knock-off.

Bad management. The kambuni was being run like a village kiosk bila any record keeping

Hawkers pia watoke, they contribute to the chaos.

With reduced human traffic in the CBD, hawkers watajiondoa wenyewe

With reduced human traffic in the CBD, hawkers watajiondoa wenyewe

And how are they going to achieve that? Reduce human traffic?

shida ni watafuata hio foot traffic pahali itaenda.
utapata kutoka Kenyatta had Haile Selassie hawkers kila mahali. same na hizo stage zingine. itakua vile inje ya muthurwa hukua imejaa hawkers.

and those new termini are really small. unless they become dropoff point s only. no picking passengers.

Greenpark name smirks of elitism and lack of Africanacity as Absa calls it.

Hehe

 

[QuadroK4000]

Greenpark name smirks of elitism and lack of Africanacity as Absa calls it.

Why?

 

[Masgwembe]

Why?

Because it's a lost opportunity to use a name from any of the 49 tribes of Kenya.

First, we copied the design of an existing bus park in Bidenistan, then we use a name associated with several housing estates in Whiteman countries. Is there no originality and pride left in us as Africans?
