Where Should You Alight?
The most convenient alighting point depends on the matatu or bus route used to reach Nairobi CBD.
Commuters should generally aim for the central or southern CBD before walking towards Haile Selassie Avenue.
Passengers arriving from the Lang’ata Road and Rongai side may find the Railways/Haile Selassie Avenue side of the CBD particularly convenient. Route 126, for example, is associated with the Railways Bus Station area for Kiserian-bound services. Metros Kenya
Passengers arriving elsewhere in the CBD do not necessarily need to change vehicles. Walking from the final CBD stage to City Square may be easier than making another public-transport connection.
