SGR marks two years of operations

Seat occupancy exceeds 90 percent on two daily Kenyan passenger trains

Dimi Kimoni works in Voi as the Coast regional chair of Athletics Kenya but his family resides in Nairobi. His weekend reunion with his wife Alice, daughter Lisa and son Erick has become much easier and convenient since the launch of the Madaraka express train on May 31, 2017.

Kimoni was recorded as the most frequent passenger of the railway, making 222 trips between Nairobi and Voi as of last Thursday. Kimoni prefers the economy class as it is affordable, safe, clean and has good customer service. His trips are not just about reaching his destination. He enjoys interacting with people, a character that has seen him make at least six friends during each trip, he said.
