As Kenya's capital city grapples with the challenges of air pollution and congestion, residents are embracing a cleaner and quieter mode of transportation - electric buses. In Nairobi, long queues of passengers are forming outside bus stations where electric vehicles are now plying their trade, offering a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel-powered buses. With the city's notorious traffic jams and poor air quality, the introduction of electric buses is seen as a welcome relief for commuters, who are willing to wait in line for a chance to ride in style and reduce their carbon footprint. But as demand for these eco-friendly buses grows, questions are being raised about the sustainability of Kenya's electric transportation infrastructure and the government's plans to support its adoption.
