UoN innovators eye bicycle sharing system to cut congestion

Imagine alighting from a public service vehicle and walking into a nearby station to pick a readily available bicycle on which you can ride to any destination within Nairobi’s congested city centre.

Well, Dr Tonny Omwansa, the brains behind Nairobi’s bicycle sharing scheme, thinks Kenya is ripe for this form of public transit system. He came up with the idea late last year after a business trip to Israel’s ‘White City’ of Tel Aviv.
