General route direction
The route is commonly identified as:
Nairobi → UN/New Muthaiga area → Gachie → Gichagi
Some operating paths and intermediate stops may vary according to the Sacco, traffic conditions and destination displayed on the vehicle.
Boarding Route 108
Passengers should look for vehicles displaying:
- Route 108
- Gachie
- Gichagi
Confirm whether the matatu terminates at Gachie or continues to Gichagi. Boarding arrangements may change between operators, so commuters should verify the current stage before travelling.
Travelling to Gachie
Gachie is one of Route 108’s principal destinations. Passengers should tell the conductor their exact stop, road or landmark because the wider Gachie area contains several local stages and junctions.
Current public-transport information lists Route 108 among the services stopping near Gachie Market. Moovit
Continuing to Gichagi
Some Route 108 vehicles continue beyond Gachie towards Gichagi. Confirm this before boarding because a service terminating at Gachie may require an additional connection.
Westlands and Parklands connections
Route 108 should not automatically be described as travelling directly through central Westlands. Instead, commuters can access Westlands and Parklands through connecting services within the wider northern Nairobi network.
Passengers travelling specifically from Westlands should confirm the most convenient interchange before starting their journey.
Related services
Other routes operating around Gachie and neighbouring areas may include:
- Route 107D
- Route 108B
- Route 119A
- Limuru Road services
- Ruaka and Ndenderu connections
The destination display should take priority because these services do not all follow the same path.
Return journey
For the return trip, board a Nairobi-bound Route 108 vehicle from an authorised stage in Gachie or Gichagi. Confirm its Nairobi terminus and whether it passes the interchange needed for Parklands or Westlands.
Travel time and fares
Journey time depends on traffic around northern Nairobi, Gachie and the approach roads into the city. Allow additional time during morning and evening peaks.
Fares depend on distance, demand, weather and traffic conditions.
Fares vary and can change at any time.
