Thread... #ReduceCostofLiving

Motorists in Nairobi will start paying 100 shillings and 75 shillings per hour for parking within the city Centre in a new parking formula that has been developed by the City Hall #ReduceCostOfLiving

Off-street parking, attractive for the relative safety of vehicles from theft and vandalism, will cost one 100 sh per hour as part of the county government’s efforts to make the most of the high competition for available slots and reduce congestion traffic #ReduceCostOfLiving

One will part with 90 shillings for every hour for on-street parking slots south of Kenyatta Avenue and west of Moi Avenue, areas described as the most sought-after by motorists sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceOfLiving

For parking in other areas apart from the two prime spots, an hourly parking fee of 75 shillings will be charged. Currently, motorists are charged a flat rate daily on-street parking fee of 200 shillings in the city center #ReduceCostOfLiving

Parking hubs outside of the city center will cost 50 shillings per hour while parking in other areas will cost 40 shillings per hour. Currently, motorists are being charged a flat rate daily on-street parking fee of 200 shillings in the city center #ReduceCostOfLiving

Parking hubs outside of the city center will cost Sh. 50 per hour while parking in other areas will cost 40 shillings per hour. Currently, motorists are being charged a flat rate daily on-street parking fee of 200 shillings in the city center #ReduceCostOfLiving

In the city center and areas around shopping centers or houses, parking periods will be between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. In other regulated areas, the parking periods will be between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceCostOfLiving

This means that parking a vehicle from 8 am to 6 pm will cost at least Sh. 1,000 going by the hourly rates or Sh. 1,200 if the vehicle is parked until the regulated time of 8 pm #ReduceCostOfLiving

“This is aimed at fully regulating all parking in the city center where there is a high level of competition for the available spaces,” says the policy document sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceCostOfLiving

The policy also roots for the removal of season tickets option for parking in the city center and offer the same outside the city center at Sh6,000 per month sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceCostOfLiving

It also provides for the regulation of parking in mixed areas with high traffic volumes (apart from the motorways that pass or cross these areas) and in high-demand areas (nodes) #ReduceCostOfLiving

Areas include Upper Hill, Community, Westlands, Yaya Center, Eastleigh, Karen, Gigiri, Ngara,and Hurlingham sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceCostOfLiving

Imagine you are going to spend 30,000 KES per month on parking alone, up from KES 6000. Choices have consequences sokodirectory.com/2021/09/motori… #ReduceCostOfLiving @Ma3Route @MihrThakar @KAM_Kenya @coldtusker #SokoNews
