Isuzu Kenya will today unveil three bus models developed specifically for the Bus Rapid Transport. (BRT)
One of the key objectives of the new models is to provide a safe and reliable mode of transport to Kenyan citizens. The 100 pax bus has 47 seats and 53 handles for standing passengers.
Isuzu also intends to help improve productivity through the elimination of lost time in traffic jam. Traffic Jam has been a pain in the neck for majority of Kenyans who rely on public transport to get to work. Isuzu believes that its new bus model will help curb the traffic jam menace.
The 3 prototype buses which carry between 60-100 passengers at a go have adequate seating space, and wide access doors to allow for ease of entry and exit of the buses.
Early this year, Isuzu EA went on a benchmarking exercise to Bogota to understand how the BRT system can be applied in Kenya. The visit seem to have hailed positive results and hence the introduction of these new bus models to the Kenyan Market.
The BRT system is to provide safety and inclusivity. Everyone needs to be able to board the bus, hence the large capacities some of the units have.
This system is also necessary for Kenyans as it will help to save on time, and improve on productivity for Kenyan citizens.
