By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorPrivate motorists in Nairobi will soon be required to use other means into the city on some days as Nairobi County plans to regain its lost glory as a green city under the sun. The Nairobi Regeneration Committee has proposed car-free days, Wednesdays and Saturdays, in the Central Business District and Westlands in a bid to decongest the city. According to a 2017 Traffic Index report by Serbia-based website numbeo.com, Nairobi residents spend on average 62.44 minutes stuck in traffic every day. On Wednesday, Nairobi County executive in charge of Roads, Transport and Infrastructure Mr Mohammed Dagane said that the move will boost the culture of using public transport in the capital city. He said a traffic management committee, automation of bus terminuses, and improvement of non-motorized travel are also planned to be put in place, adding that traders would use the car-free days to showcase their wares.
