    The low chassis and wheelchair ramp are just a game changer. Looking forward to using the service. I hope you incorporate an Uber-like app that helps to determine the availability of the buses within your area.

      I would gladly even volunteer as an engineer to help work on that. Honestly, we need a reliable alternative to matatus.

    If you can incentivize people to take buses over private vehicles by providing dedicated bus-only lanes this will drastically solve Nairobi's traffic problem.

    This is good idea but our roads need to be relooked because they are narrow sharply cornered but for in city transit they are ok

    How about putting solar panels on top of the buses as a backup to recharge the batteries.

    • @beyondboundaries2

      Its a good idea but it cannot work. You will still need to charge and will make the bus more expensive and delicate

      @@beyondboundaries2 Thats what the panels are there for to charge. or are you saying the solar will not produce enough power t charge the entire battery system? One cn recover the cost by making more rips as opposed to waiting 4hrs to recharge

      @@daviddavis7959 The area on top pf the bus is rather large so they could retrofit some panels up there but they still wouldn't fully charge the battery it would add probably about 40 extra KM or maybe less depending on cloud cover.
      BUT the roof would be very delicate and the driver would have to be careful not to go under tree branches that stick out
