Governor Johnson Sakaja’s cabinet has approved the implementation of the first phase of the Nairobi Metropolitan Mass Rapid Transit System (NMRTS).

The approval, made during the 90th County Executive Committee meeting, clears the way for the first phase of the ambitious mass transit project, which City Hall said has been developed in close technical collaboration with the Executive Office of the President.

The first phase of the project will focus on two key mobility corridors: an underground rail core through the Central Business District (CBD) and the Eastlands line, targeting some of Nairobi’s busiest commuter routes.
