Thanks for your timely updates

[@gilbertowuor6071]

Should have started with the SGR to Mombasa but all the same i welcome this this development . Good job Dolphin ❤ 👍

[@MikeJones-ck4yt]

I think Tanzania is ahead of Kenya with their electric long distance trains. Let's hope Kenya will catch up.

Just one railway line this commuter multiple railway line

[@wanjalajesse1694]

​@@fanatic6977you want to compare a 1400km electric railway line and a commuter railway line that cannot even reach 150km😂

[@petermwangi4995]

That's good news, thanks 👍 you dolphine 🎉

[@maxkodi210]

world bank and IMF are the last institutions we want to be associated with

[@edwinmaywa]

True they throw you money so that you misuse and then controll you China is better their projects they do it themselves 😊

I think Tanzania has longest electrified Railway in Africa. And now more 720km are complete from Dar es Salaam to bahi Dodoma. And construction is going on up to mwanza more than 1500km. On july 25 Trains will start operating to Dodoma and as we speak normal electric trains are operating from Dar to Morogoro. EMU trains will start operations this friday that use less than 1:20 minutes to travel more than 300km. Be updated and welcome to Tanzania to try trains

@@asapkidda6247 yeye ndo kasema kuwa hio ya Nairobi commuter ni first electric in East Africa. Then I advised her to travel first to Ethiopia then to Tanzania. Most kenyan still live in history and next month the largest passenger ship in Africa will be opened in mwanza Tanzania and it is called MV Mwanza

Competition peleka huko kwenu.

[@ubaachieng4668]

Competition is not bad especially if it will shame our corrupt leaders into doing better.

[@Spinkly]

Are any of these said projects even started? Please show us… otherwise these are all hot air promises.

[@Dqtube]

It is better than diesel in the long-term because operating costs are lower due to recuperation and easier maintenance. It does not pollute the air where people are present and reduces noise levels. The batteries of the units can also be used for grid balancing at night when the train is not running.

[@dolphine254]

Thanks for your feedback

[@KigongoReagan-gh8sg]

The project is good. They view is nice

[@dolphine254]

Thanks

[@pharesolango632]

We should be racing to do fully electric rail connections to Uganda, SSudan & Ethiopia. That should be the top priority otherwise Tanzania will replace us as the trade hub for the region. 2/3 of Kenya population resides west of the Rift Valley, Nairobi to Uganda border is a more viable urgent route for high speed passenger and freight trains.

[@eleven5167]

Poor leadership has something to say about that

[@eleven5167]

How is the new nairobi central railways station project coming along?

[@wanjalajesse1694]

After it's commissioning nothing is happening

I hope govt hawajatia mkono wao, if it will be world bank implement the project to the end, i will hope for the best. But kama ni serikali ya zakayo! Mayoooo!!!!

Hi D254. It would really be great if you rode with some of us in that train❤❤❤

I've already done a video of the same

[@computermaster-ik3jy]

Guys , for those complaining ati Tanzania are ahead of us. In electric trian .believe you me . We are not that behind. Am an elec engineer i know. The hardest part is done. Erecting the rails hio ingine nikupgrade tu kuweka stima no big deal. We are not going to erect new rails ati ndio tuweke ya stima. NO.

[@ubaachieng4668]

The main problem is that we have not gotten the SGR to the border. However, if it is not going to pay for itself, I would rather stay with the slow train.

[@vincentarmondo9136]

Dolphin can you please start to make monthly updates of Talanta stadium 🙏🏾

[@dolphine254]

I will..thanks for your feedback

[@langatrobert905]

August 24 this year?Come on can we be serious even with lying?Almost forgot,ruto at work thru proxies

[@ubaachieng4668]

I am assuming that this does not involve installing electric lines and therefore may be done quickly. I just don't understand why we would get more debt before we stabilize current debt.

[@altentic8616]

I think these urban mobility projects are interesting.. however, I note that Nairobi needs to make adjustments to its public roads and widen streets and sidewalks.. just look at the cities in South Africa, Canada and the USA.. follow the international standard is to make your city more beautiful and functional

[@edwinmaywa]

True

[@leroydanny4072]

Kenyans roads and sidewalks are wide they don't seem so because of the kiosks and vibandas

[@askuri_]

Are you talking about the same USA and Canadian cities that have the widest roads, yet they are still jammed with cars? Cars are useful for some cases but within a growing city, cars will never be able to transport enough people. The way they consume space is too inefficient. Mass transit systems like busses and trams are the only way to fix traffic. I agree with you though, sidewalks need to be improved - or built where they don't even exist yet.

[@ubaachieng4668]

I have been wondering what happened to the BRT system. I think they will soon regret it if they don't implement it. Roads sometimes get crowded very fast.

[@gloryglory5709]

and you wonder why they raising taxes

[@TiredKenyan]

These are usually done using loans

[@gloryglory5709]

@@TiredKenyan ok and loans have to be paid off right? and it's the taxpayers to pay for it. China already owns Kenya and will take over in a matter of time and have it's first half black half Chinese president

[@user-of3qz7yn7f]

Sadly, it's coming so late in our development phase (since independence ) and it's not even set to use the very latest in technology (don't have the right railway gauge for it), that it cant be celebrated as a win. Ethiopia implanted the near latest in technology, so why shouldn't we? Then we'll have to borrow from the World Bank and upgrade again in a short while. 😏 Sorry, no kudos from me on this one.

[@aliabdi8347]

It will never happen, When there is power rationing every other day in the country

[@user-nc1ix3vy3r]

😅😅😅😅sorry for lau😊ghing but i don't believe this govt anymore

[@ubaachieng4668]

Maybe the world bank is trying to give them a win since IMF/World Bank seem very interested in controlling our affairs.

[@tanzanite9944]

Which August? You mean August 2024 Next Month the Project will be completed? When did it start, is it in progress now say 90% to completion? Is a Lie lie!

[@dolphine254]

According to them..the first phase of the project is to be complete by end of August 2024..is this realistic?

[@Dqtube]

@@dolphine254 In theory, yes. It depends on whether the stations where the units will be charged have sufficient grid capacity? If so, it's just a matter of the logistics of getting the units and chargers to the site, and that can be a question of weeks. But if the station needs to be reconnected or the grid ( nearest substation) needs to be upgraded, it can take a long time.

[@pharoah-ahmose6075]

World bank??😢

[@dolphine254]

Yes

[@gabistan2007]

Kenya is backwards with the trains. The plans was no gd .who was that constructors and leaders for the project. Maybe we wait again 100 years. 😂😂😂

[@FredyVincent951753852456]

This is the second time Kenya is redoing a project, symbolizing improper planning before undertaking it. After Tanzania inaugurated a successful BRT system, which was much envied by Kenyans, the government tried to customize already constructed roads to satisfy its citizens, but the project did not bear fruit. They have to be careful on this one🤔
