In December 2024, the Kenyan government proposed changes to existing bus routes in a gazette notice. The stated reasons for these changes are:
- reducing congestion in Nairobi's CBD (Central Business District) by limiting routes that use it as a transit point
- reducing travel times between different parts of Nairobi
The purpose of this project is to investigate whether these claims are true and to further assess the impact on other aspects of the transportation network. Additionally it is meant to serve as a demonstration of Noj for data and science.
- Digital Matatus - contains map of existing routes, a GTFS feed and GIS Shapefile of Nairobi roads.
- New Routes Gazette Notice - table of new routes.
- Google Distance Matrix - travel distance/duration estimation.
