To achieve this objective, the government will: develop a standard gauge railway line between Mombasa through Nairobi to Malaba with connectivity to Kisumu,Uganda and Rwanda; expand Nairobi Commuter Railway Services system that involves upgrading of the Commuter Core System (existing commuter
rail line); construction of a railway line from JKIA to the Syokimau Railway Station, and construction of Kisumu and Mombasa commuter rail systems.
