Kenya’s Ksh50 billion Urban Transport Fund has launched electric bus fleets in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu. The World Bank-funded program, operational in June 2024, includes 150 e-buses, dedicated lanes, and smart card payments. Nairobi’s Ngong Road corridor serves 50,000 commuters daily. The buses, assembled by Roam and BasiGo, reduce emissions by 80% and operating costs by 40%. The fund also supports cycling lanes and pedestrian walkways. By 2027, the program aims to move 1 million commuters daily, cutting travel time and pollution in major cities.
