Kenya Railways Corporation has announced a two-year plan to upgrade its Nairobi infrastructure at a cost of USD 49 million in a move seeking to raise commuter numbers tenfold. Managing director Atanas Maina says the project has already commenced with upgrade of the Ruiru station at a cost of about three million dollars. Over the period, 20 stations will either be built or rehabilitated in Nairobi under a public private partnership model. The project is funded by the World Bank and the government. The World Bank has been supporting the improvement of the Nairobi commuter rail system over the last several years.
