Nairobi Traffic

Once known as Africa's green city in the sun, Nairobi is so choked with traffic that these days, the Kenyan capital is anything but gleaming. Traffic has been reduced to a gridlocked sea of cars and the government reckons traffic congestion is costing Kenya $ 460 million a year due to lost productivity, fuel consumption and pollution. The city is suffering from maddening congestion due to a combination of failure to update road networks, bad drivers and swarming minibuses, better known as matatus.
