Reorganize City Transport System

The business community in Nairobi is asking the government to deal with traffic congestion before implementing a long-term plan for a metropolitan transport system proposed by the Nairobi Metropolitan Ministry.
The Nairobi Central Business District Association (NCBDA) there is burning need to reorganize the transport system in the city’s transport system.
Timothy Kuria the NCBDA chairman says he knows there are plans to solve these problems but short term solutions should be devised first.
According to the NCBDA, Kenya loses Sh30 billion worth of fuel annually, and suffers irreversible environmental damage, as a result of the heavy traffic congestion. "Before the bypasses are done, all heavy commercial trucks of more than 10 tonnes can be prohibited from passing through the expanded or greater Nairobi CBD during the peak hours," said Muriuki adding that the trucks should plan their itinerary to only enter the city between 10 pm and 5 am.
Other plans include building of bypasses to divert traffic from the city centre, and the expansion of major roads leading to the city.
