The Madaraka Express Passenger
Service will leave at 7.15am, instead of
8am, starting on December 1.
Morning traffic jams in Mombasa have
forced the change.
Passengers leaving Mombasa for
Nairobi must be at Miritini Station by
6.45am for 7.15am departure.
Previously, departure was at 8am.
Many passengers missed the train
because of heavy traffic in Changamwe.
“To beat heavy traffic, which usually
begins around 7.30am, KRC revised the
departure time from Mombasa,” MD
Atanas Maina (pictured) said.
“We only have one road to Miritini
Station. The 8am departure time became
a nightmare for many passengers
because of the traffic,” Maina said.
He spoke to journalists on Monday
on the sidelines of a media workshop
organised by the Kenya Ports Authority
at the Whitesands Hotel.
