Each one will be more thrilled by the rail that reaches closest to them, is that the case? Cause it is for me and I was/still i'm more exited about the Msa commuter as it goes through my hometown

The plan will bring together the counties of Nairobi, Kiambu, Murang’a Nyeri and Laikipia which will cost about 25 billion shillings with each county expected to contribute 100 million shillings.

This will go into purchasing locomotives, new wagons and get the track upgraded in order to get heavier trains.

The plan is one of the many among them the Lapsset project which the counties plan to integrate with neighbouring counties including Nakuru and Isiolo.

The ultimate plan is to connect to Isiolo and upper Eastern and Ethiopia.
