Nairobi City has been mauled by rampant vehicular traffic attributed to the many cars on the rather lean roads in Kenya. This has driven most people to opt for the rail transport in Nairobi over road transport in Nairobi. Rail transport in Nairobi is not only cheaper but also more convenient as there are no traffic snarl ups encountered. In the recent past, there are three new railway stations in Nairobi city that have been opened. These new railway stations newly opened in Nairobi are:

Makadara Railway station in Nairobi

This Makadara Railway station in Nairobi is a railway station located along Jogoo Road in Nairobi near the Easton apartments in Nairobi. This Makadara Railway station is still under construction in Kenya and has not been officially opened.

These three rail stations in Nairobi were built so as to enhance railway transportation in Nairobi. Currently there are a few estates in Nairobi that are served by rail transport in Nairobi. There is a train that passes across Githurai estate in Nairobi, Kibera estate in Nairobi, Umoja estate in Nairobi and Embakasi Estate in Nairobi.
