Kenya Railways launched the Mombasa Commuter Rail Service on Sept 17, linking the SGR Terminus in Miritini to Mombasa CBD over 16.6 km, including 2.8 km of new track. The KSh 4.2 billion project added stations, track upgrades, and a 2.3 km bridge over the Makupa Causeway. The service was projected to carry 4,000 passengers daily, offering an alternative to road transport and cutting travel times in the coastal city.
