    The document discusses plans for developing the Nairobi Commuter Rail service. It proposes a metro or heavy rail system with frequent bidirectional travel rather than just suburban commuter rail. The master plan includes 5 proposed rail lines totaling over 150km and 32 stations. Implementation is divided into immediate action projects, a quick wins program within 5 years estimated to cost $300 million and increase ridership to 230,000 daily, and a full 15-year implementation costing $3.559 billion to further expand the network and ridership. Institutional arrangements are also discussed to oversee the development and operation of the commuter rail system.

    AG HEAD, COMMUTER RAIL UNIT

    FEBRUARY 2022
    VISION FOR NAIROBI COMMUTER RAIL

    What type of service should Nairobi Commuter Rail Offer?

    The actual system needed should have the level of operating


    capacity which is normally considered as metro rail or heavy
    rail, rather than suburban or commuter rail. Such as system
    would need frequent 2-way movement rather than just 1-way
    movement to service suburban to central travel.

    IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF THE NCR
    STAGE I – THE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS PROGRAM

    1. Renovation of Nairobi Railway Central Station and improvement of


    access has largely been completed
    2. Creation of Commuter Rail Unit is ongoing. Staff have been
    assigned

    3. Procurement of 11 Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) been delivered,


    branded and deployed for use

    4. Ballasting, track rehabilitation and drainage works is currently


    ongoing and 80-90% complete
    5. Construction of mini-stations: 18 are in design, while two - Mukuru
    and Lukenya – are under construction.

    6. Removal of freight/commuter conflict was completed by building


    the track bypass at Imara Daima station.

    7. These interventions have improved daily passenger ridership from


    11,000 to about 24,000, and this is expected to increase once the
    Covid-19 situation eases.
    QUICK-WINS PROGRAM (PHASE II)

    A series of Quick Wins have been identified through the Commuter Rail
    Masterplan Study, which would lead to the rehabilitation of the network to various
    levels of improvement in a relatively short time period by:

    • Increasing the number of daily trips


    • Increasing the operational fleet
    • Improving security and accessibility at stations and halts
    • Providing efficient and reliable control systems.
    • Build 2 new stations and improve accessibility to 8 others
    • Infrastructure investment for the section from NCS to Makadara, for line 2
    from Makadara to EmbakasiVillage,for line 3 from Makadara to Ruiru.
    • Systems implementation runs parallel to track works rehab
    • 9 new DEMUs of 8 cars each to be purchased for a fleet mix of refurbished
    locomotives
    • New depot to be built.

    These measures are estimated to cost US$ 300 million and would take could be
    implemented within 5 years. They will increase the commuter rail passenger traffic to
    230,000 per day.
