Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) is considering constructing a new metre gauge railway line to serve Ngong town in the government's bid to decongest Ngong Road.

The railway line, which is expected to cost Sh8.2 billion, will start at Riruta where it will branch off the Nairobi-Kikuyu line and cut through Dagoretti South and Lang'ata sub-counties in Nairobi, proceeding to Kajiado North Sub-county in Kajiado County and terminate in Ngong town.
