Only near A-ONE supermarket these days is a bit slow but it's all to do with matatus stopping for passengers there. And the cops are usually just a few meters away at the Digo Road round about. It's so sad how they're doing such a poor job.Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-64200244319454097662008-08-05T11:06:00.000+03:002008-08-05T11:06:00.000+03:00Hey, i'm just sick and tired of jam in Mombasa esp...Hey, i'm just sick and tired of jam in Mombasa especially at Nyali bridge. If you ask me, i don't think the cops here even know what they do. I ended up moving house to tudor which is on the island but the jam is less. Alot of fuel and man hours is wasted on jams that have no head or tail. I think the traffic cops should be given a refresher course. Even the matatu drivers don't respect them coz they know these guys are so easily corrupted and not sure of their job, that they make situations worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-18355167800052243072008-08-04T20:46:00.000+03:002008-08-04T20:46:00.000+03:00Savvy the ferry is not a fun place to be.

Feel free to blog here any time. <BR/><BR/>A bridge at Likoni is quite a tall order I agree and the cost is prohibitive. But for some mega structure engineers out there it might be child's play. It would have to be those bridges that open up to let ships pass and then close again to let cars and people cross over. It would have to be some extreme engineering like is seen in Dubai and other parts of the world. But that would mean monitoring and maintaining the bridge. And we cant maintain a ferry yet. I rest my case.Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-178131265890905632008-08-04T19:06:00.000+03:002008-08-04T19:06:00.000+03:00Nice home.

And gal dont forget we cant have a bridge there unless we move the port to Kizingo then we will have that. <BR/>Have been caught in traffic hapo Makupa eeh I cursed my whole day till I walked to Makupa and catch another ma3. I hope Momba will expand coz with the current rate of cars it will be bad the roads are extremely narrow and you cant even think of overlapping. <BR/><BR/>Sorry I came and it was warm till I startde blogging.Nakeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425010379844042952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-56760541488344989662008-08-04T09:15:00.000+03:002008-08-04T09:15:00.000+03:00i always feel a little scared using the ferry when...i always feel a little scared using the ferry when u see these big wheelers loading on the ferry and u can feel it sink a few inches in the water....<BR/><BR/>nairobi jams are bad news, be happy u havent experienced them. it takes me 2 hours to reach town, what i would take 30 minutes were there no jamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-23714494767957713662008-08-01T14:25:00.000+03:002008-08-01T14:25:00.000+03:00Intelligensia that's the story here but it'll chan...Intelligensia that's the story here but it'll change in a few years if it's not checked in time.<BR/><BR/>I'm heading to my inbox.Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-30852466838935064302008-08-01T13:08:00.000+03:002008-08-01T13:08:00.000+03:00i have been there on holiday at normal peak days a...i have been there on holiday at normal peak days and was pleasantly surprised that i was not stuck in traffic even during rush hours! <BR/><BR/>i have a request for you in your inbox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-71279370412565472522008-08-01T11:33:00.000+03:002008-08-01T11:33:00.000+03:00Tell you what Nairobian, the day you did blogging ...Tell you what Nairobian, the day you did blogging Idols I was to do the same. I had it all ready then you beat me! So that is my revenge. But yours will be different coz the jams there are deadlier. I hope for real they ease up this time.<BR/><BR/>The ferry is a nightmare. Between the mainland and Mombasa Island is such a short distance and yet people have to wait for the ferry to sea saw on and on. Woe unto them if there's a petroleum tanker to be taken across. If it takes a tanker it does not take any other cars or passengers so those waiting have to wait some more. A bridge would really be something here.Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-18357026010806119992008-08-01T11:02:00.000+03:002008-08-01T11:02:00.000+03:00HI Shiko, i recently saw a news item on the overcr...HI Shiko, i recently saw a news item on the overcrowded ferry that stalled at likoni, it was appalling and shameful, funnily enough i wanted to do a post on Nairobi jams today, but you beat me to it! i will still do the post coz yours is on Mombasa!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
