Last week, President William Ruto commissioned the Mombasa Commuter Rail Service in a first for the Coastal region and a project set to drastically improve the local transport economy.
The 14-kilometre rail project connects Mombasa’s Central Business District to the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) terminus at Miritini, with stops at Changamwe East and West, Shimanzi and Mazeras, offering services to approximately 4,000 commuters every day.
