[@KenanTurkiye]

That's interesting. I ❤ trains, trams, take a ride, I have a folder on ''transportation'' (folder 2, in playlists) you will love them too :)

[@johnathanmunai3891]

The range rover nearly hit Patrick Igunza from behind...safety first bro...some motorists aren't safety conscious...Great reporting though..going Electric is the way to go

[@josekifani2524]

This electric busses are nice. No noise, less shaking

[@AmazingMania]

Imagine having a company and all orders for 2024 are fully booked as early as January 1st.....we need to go green

[@cahmillie2489]

[@josephgatambia5679]

Imagin how calm and neat Nairobi will be with 80% of diesel city buses replaced with electric ones

[@Kiprooo]

I hope Nairobi is ready and well equipped to put off electric fires incase these buses are involved in a collision. Electrical fires are hard to put off, it requires a lot of training and infrastructure upgrades.

These guys talking nonsense Kwa reply section think putting off Ev fire is easier work,they should make use of KZbin and watch how hard it is to even contain a Tesla on fire

[@tonguesofaccess]

Your worries are nothing compared to disposal of led,

[@mutisosimon4383]

9.06 USA is not leading the EV evolution. It is china that is dominating this particular field and the supply chain of the batteries components from end to end.

[@icelandicoverland921]

USA has oil they don't care so much about EV

[@solomonmuthee6490]

Electric, yet we use fuel generators to charge this buses

[@kabuthakabutha9472]

The irony in that

[@philiponkui8650]

wapi?

[@kabuthakabutha9472]

The masses are sheeple. They can't fathom. Media is also there to push a certain narrative especially climate change. Nkt

When these things catch fire we'll see something we have never seen.

there is nothing green about these buses while lithium mining is drying rivers in some parts of the world

[@miltononyango]

tell them

[@AmazingMania]

​@@miltononyangowell even the phone you are using is made of lithium battery...the truth is lithium mining is not as destructive as carbon emissions

[@dfreokemwa7864]

😂😂😂😂ni biashara tu

[@our10picks18]

We now have sodium ion batteries and Toyota is working on solid state batteries that don’t require use of lithium!

[@miltononyango]

@@AmazingMania eeeish you have no idea what you are taking about , chile is suffering , uragway is suffering , as we speak there is battle between china n us who should control the mining fields .. the fields are drying and we have ghost towns ..many more...they say they want to remove fosil be we are far from it ..may be 2095

[@our10picks18]

Ruto must scrape most if not all the taxes on EVs if full adoption is to be embraced! Na tumechoka na hizi matatu noisy!

Too nice story to believe, I choose to wait and see 😅

[@daudigichana2259]

[@RampantPinata]

The only issue I have with Kenyan journalism is poor research. The US has not embraced electric buses as stated, plus, walking in the middle of a busy public road for is cool?

There is nothing cleaner environment about in this. It will end soon as the quail business did. Kenya never seems to learn. Once piles of waste batteries and cost of servicing commerce

It's funny how you report in English but don't transilate interview in English too. To be honest as non Swahili speaking, i didn't get anything from public view while in Swahili 😅

[@Eddyke]

😂😂 Sorry for that on their behalf. But almost everyone in Kenya and East Africa knows Kiswahili. So givem it's a national TV and jot international they don't see a reason to because the audience knows Swahili

[@kevinsakwa6665]

Why would u call China a developed country when it’s not?

[@NoorSiti-q1c]

Apologies, china is in the Same state as kenya and Uganda.
