The Nairobi Railway Station , situated off Haile Selassie Avenue and Moi Avenue roundabout, is the hub for all commuter train services in Nairobi and passenger train services to Mombasa and Kisumu. It’s also the matatu terminus for matatus heading to most of the western suburbs of Nairobi.
The Railway matatu station is an open air bus stage with sheltered benches for passengers. Unfortunately, it has a limited capacity for the large numbers of matatus plying these routes, resulting in a chaotic atmosphere as matatu operators constantly jostle for parking space, and tout for passengers.
The route map to the left and the table below describe the matatu routes you can get at this stage. You can also get to some of these destinations by bus from either the Kencom Bus stage or Ambassador Bus Stage.
