Syokimau Commuter Rail Station

A modern commuter railway station being constructed at Syokimau in Embakasi is expected to be completed by the end of this year, as plans to turnaround Kenya's urban transport system begin taking shape. Already 60% of the project which will ease traffic flow on major highways has been completed and the government is now in the process of acquiring additional land to put up a car park for motorists who will leave their cars at the station and board a train to the city. And as Denis Otieno reports the project will include the construction of a 2 storey terminal building, boarding and disembarking ramps for passengers as well as an interchange facility for public service vehicles dropping and picking passengers at the station.

A good initiative but the said railway station building is so sketchy. The strength of the structure does not reflect the much publicized projects of the vision 2030. I don't see that building lasting 10years.

Happy for this innitiative hope this is not another campaign gimmick,very sad that tonnes and tones of scrap metals corrected and stored since 1909 are being ferried and carted away to China at Night,imagine the cartel dispossing this metal without following the raid down procurement and disposal procedure,do the Kenyan fell pain,Personally i am Happy to have instituted a court case on right to housing in land belonging to Kenya Railways
