The light rail tram system planned for Nairobi will run along three roads- Ngong Road, Waiyaki Way and either Thika or Langata Road—for eight kilometres each— as the government moves to ease traffic jam in the city.

Transport Principal Secretary Irungu Nyakera Tuesday said the rail project, totalling 24km, will be built on the road reserves, eliminating the need for costly compensation to private land owners.
