Kenya's railway sector is on the cusp of significant development with the upcoming construction of the Riruta/Lenana to Ngong Metre Gauge Railway (MGR) line. This 12.5-kilometre addition aims at addressing a critical challenge: congestion on the main road artery connecting these Nairobi suburbs.
The increased capacity of the railway, with each train accommodating an additional 800 passengers during peak hours, will cater to a wider population. This not only benefits residents by easing their commute but also contributes to a more sustainable transport system, potentially reducing reliance on personal vehicles.
