My Part of Nairobi

Environmental, without knowing it

The railroad came to Kenya over 100 years ago. Some of the trains here seem that old! Anyway, I was walking along the railroad track the other day & found this ticket... turns out that a person can hop on the train in one part of town and ride it to another. (And I mean that - the choice is very limited. It goes one direction in the morning and the reverse at night.) This is MUCH better environmentally, as public mini-buses belch out nasty plumes of diesel smoke. (I heard a statistic that the air in Nairobi is 38 times worse than in the average US city!)

Another great thing about the train is that it costs less to go that way than via the minibuses.
