I still think parking is still very cheap in Nairobi. If I were to get my way, I would fix parking at an hourly rate, say 100bob an hour, and then no one will go to town and simply park their cars there, and then the Kenyans who have stuff to do at the CBD will come and get parking - then, I would improve transportation within the CBD at nearly zero bob, so you won't have a reason to take your car to the CBD if you work there, but thats just in my head, again!!! ./Ok3ch On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 10:39 AM, joe mwirigi <joemwirigi@gmail.com> wrote:
I guess the general idea here is not to de-congest the town. The spaces remain the same and more and more kenyans are buying cars. Business men will make up for this by increasing their charges to customers just a bit to cover for this. I guess this decision arises from a budget meeting. They need more money and they have exhausted the avenues of creativity. More people are complying with the by-laws, cant hike business licences some more... so they punish the only people who will comply without question and then compare Nairobi with some city in Europe. _______________________________________________________________ its ok child, He's heard you

Skunks,
The seasonal tickets are supposed to go up from 2k to 3k for private cars. Thats 50% the cumulative daily costs. There more people will opt to go the seasonal way. By so doing Kanju will have slashed the work those yellow kabuti staff do.
My question, is this a way devised to reduce their head count while at the same time ensure that the collections actually reach the council books?

by the way check out this arithmetic.
A standard car is about ten foot by four foot wide, thats fourty square foot. that car paying Ksh 400 a day for thirty days (yeah, i know thats a bit of a stretch) will pay a cool Ksh 12,000 a month for an area that is 40Sq foot.
this computes to about Ksh 300 per square foot.
with this kind of rate, and with the likes of Lonrho charging close to 65 per sqare foot...... why not just convert the whole of town into parking spaces?

Me thinks time is rife for some car-pooling *social media* solution. Anyone else seeing the glass half full? However Kenyans have proven to be quite peculiar when it come to projecting expectations... Too many logistics to consider here e.g. Trust issues blah blah blah Who's game though? Any different ideas?

Matatu fare will go app primarily because of simple supply and demand, people with more money (they had 140+roughly 200 bob for transport daily, modest estimates), have been pushed into the now limited matatu's... The can afford to pay more...

Matatu fare is also likely to go up since they are also affected. Matatus are now paying 4,000 from 2,200 and buses 8,000 from 4,000 _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
