The Kenya Railway Corporation (KRC) has earmarked seven commuter lines for upgrade and new trains as part of a strategy to decongest the capital through reliable commuting.
The rehabilitation covers the entire 165-kilometre Nairobi Commuter Rail network, which comprises key routes such as the Nairobi-Limuru, Nairobi-Thika, Nairobi-Konza, Nairobi-Embakasi Village, Ngong-Kiserian, Kiserian-Ongata Rongai to Nyayo Stadium as well as the Nairobi-Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) link.
