Ni kampuni ya kibinafsi imeanzisha hili, ni jambo bora tuwe na makampuni mengi tofauti yalete mabasi ya aina hii mjini. Yajazane kotekote, nimekua pale Dar juzi, wao wametenga barabara maalum kwa ajili ya mabasi ya mwendo kasi. Kwa kweli niliona ipo sawa sana halafu hayasimami kwa foleni, ni moja kwa moja.
Lakini pia napenda huu mfumo wa Kenya kwamba makampuni ya kibinafsi yajaze mabasi ya aina hii kote.

IN SUMMARY
- The buses are likely to boost hopes among commuters that a plan to introduce a mass rapid transportation system incorporating light railway and buses to decongest the city would soon become a reality.
Traffic jams in Nairobi may soon be a thing of the past after the arrival of mass transit buses in the city on Thursday.
A test drive of the buses on Mombasa Road, through the city centre and to the Kencom bus terminus caused a stir among Nairobi residents, who marvelled at the especially long vehicles.
The buses are likely to boost hopes among commuters that a plan to introduce a mass rapid transportation system incorporating light railway and buses to decongest the city would soon become a reality.
TruckMart East Africa Ltd sales executive Mehul Sachdev said four such buses with the capacity to ferry 120 passengers are available for sale.
He said the buses would help to decongest city roads since they are designed to carry both standing and seated passengers.
“One of these buses will remove four buses from the road and it will hence reduce traffic jams in the city as it is fitted to carry 62 sitting and 70 standing passengers,” said Mr Sachdev.
He said the government had taken long to improve the existing infrastructure so they decided to bring in the vehicles in a bid to put more pressure on officials.
Mr Sachdev said the company has started training drivers and once the vehicles are fully adapted they will open training schools.
