Route 4W to Kabiria
Route 4W connects Nairobi with Kabiria through Ngong Road, Dagoretti Corner and Wanyee Road.

| Route 4C | Kinyanjui Road |
Passengers should select the service closest to their destination rather than treating the two variants as interchangeable.
Travelling to Satellite
Satellite is served by several nearby roads and stages. Tell the conductor which section, estate or landmark you need because a vehicle may pass Satellite without entering every residential area.
Confirm whether Wanyee Road or Kinyanjui Road provides the closest drop-off.

Dagoretti Corner connects Wanyee Road services with the wider Ngong Road transport network. From here, commuters may connect towards:
- Nairobi CBD
- Adams Arcade
- Kilimani
- Kawangware
- Riruta
- Waithaka
- Dagoretti
- Karen
- Ngong
Use an authorised stage and confirm the direction before crossing or boarding.

Boarding guidance
Before paying the fare, ask:
- Does the vehicle use Wanyee Road?
- Does it continue to Kabiria?
- Which Satellite stops does it serve?
- Where is the final terminus?
- Does it continue to Nairobi CBD on the return trip?
Checking the suffix is important because Route 4C follows a different local road.
Return journey
For the return trip, look for Route 4W or another vehicle travelling towards Dagoretti Corner and Ngong Road. Confirm whether it continues into Nairobi CBD or ends at an intermediate stage.
Services may become less frequent during late-evening periods.
Travel time
Journey duration depends on traffic around Dagoretti Corner, Satellite and Kabiria. Congestion is more likely during morning and evening commuting periods and around busy local centres.
Fare information
Fares depend on the distance travelled, traffic, weather, passenger demand and time of day. Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding.
Fares vary and can change at any time.
Commuter tips
- Check for the complete 4W route number.
- Confirm that the matatu uses Wanyee Road.
- Distinguish Route 4W from Route 4C.
- Name the exact Satellite or Kabiria landmark.
- Confirm where the return service boards.
- Use safe crossing facilities at Dagoretti Corner.
