What you need to know:

  • NMS boss says bus stations have been built in Ngara and Parklands where all matatus coming from Thika will offload passengers.
  • Matatus coming from Machakos and Lang’ata will have a stage at the Railway Golf Club where the Kenya National Highways Authority will build an express way.

Matatus will no longer be allowed to access the Central Business District (CBD) as from November as the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) moves to de-congest the city.

Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Administration and National Security, NMS Director General Mohammed Badi said plans to de-congest the city are being finalised and will be launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta in November.
