When Kenya Railways announced the coming of the Nairobi Commuter Train in October, most Kenyans on social media praised the government as the project is aimed at reducing congestion on city roads.

“The revamped Nairobi Commuter Rail network and infrastructure will provide a viable transport solution to a substantial proportion of the 1.5 million people who commute into Nairobi City Central Business District (CBD) every day and make commuting easier,” said Kenya Railways.
