In April, the Kenya Railway Company will begin feasibility studies for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Nairobi Commuter Network, which is part of the World Bank-backed Nairobi Commuter Railway Network.
The project seeks to expand the rail network with 35-53 stations, critical transport centres, and supportive infrastructure to promote the use of public transport.
The Nairobi Commuter Rail (NCR) network covers 165 km but is a pastime for ageing facilities and infrastructure.
The feasibility study and preparation stages for KUMIP are expected to take 24 months from April 2025.

Last month, the first stage, John Maina, said it was the first stage of the contracted Nairobi Ruill route, which was expanded to Tika Station to meet the growing pendulum requirements. The expansion of this route will facilitate overloading on both rail and road networks, addressing one of the busiest commuting corridors in the area,” says Maina.
According to this first expansion, the next phase will focus on upgrades and manipulation of additional NCR paths, including the restrictions in the Stadtnack-Nairobi-Ngong and the city of Nairobi-Kiambu. The project will also focus on modernizing the ticketing system, a major area where the World Bank’s pyroxen is highlighted.
The government intends to apply for World Bank funding to the costs of a project to improve the mobility of Kenya in Kenya and to apply for a portion of the proceeds from the advisory service on April 21, 2025. The order period is 24 months.
Managing Director Kenya Railway said in public tips. According to the publication of the Managing Director of Kenya Railway, the scope of consulting work includes feasibility studies, including pre-engineering to assess living for network improvement and/or rehabilitation, and transit-oriented development. It will be available. Access to the Development (Death) Agency and Road Bureau.
What is also more expected are the technical requirements of the design and construction documents of the entire NCR network for commuters, the access system of commuter stations for selected stations along the Tikaline, and the associated infrastructure systems.
