The much-awaited Green Park Bus terminus will commence operations in phases starting Tuesday next week, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has announced.

In a public notice issued yesterday, (NMS) announced that PSVs plying Ngong’ road and Argwings Kodhek road will pick and drop passengers at the Green Park terminal as from Tuesday, May 24.

“Nairobi Metropolitan Services wishes to inform Public Service Vehicle (PSVs) operators and the general public that the Green Park Bus Terminal will commence operation in phases,” said NMS in statement.

Phased opening

Matatus plying Lang’ata Road will start operations at the terminus three days later on May 27. Green Park is among six other termini the NMS is setting up at a cost of Sh350 million.

The others include Desai, Park Road, Landhies-Muthurwa, Fig Tree terminus and Bunyala-Workshop Road.

NMS says the terminal has a capacity to accommodate 300 to 350 vehicles at any given time and up to 20,000 matatus in a day.

Last year, NMS chief Lieutenant-General Mohammed Badi conducted at least three test runs to identify challenges and loopholes in the Green Park terminus.

Operations at the terminus will mark the beginning of decongesting the Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
