Kenya railways has proposed new railway services from Kiserian to Ngong to Nairobi, and Ruai to Nairobi. Also, From Kikuyu to Nairobi.
These will reduce the traffic jam on roads leading to the city.
Effect on land price.
Land prices around Nairobi are excessively high due to high demand since there is little or no infrastructure after the 30km radius of Nairobi CBD.
If Kenya Railways can come up with railway transport to serve at least a 60 to 70km radius of Nairobi eg Naivasha, Kajiado etc, this will result in land prices easing and hence affordable to many Kenyans.
