Nairobi — Logistic company MetroTrans Investment Limited has invested Sh103 million in new buses as it modernizes fleets.

The 14 Hino buses have been locally assembled by CFAO Mobility, Kenya's automotive distributor, and financed by Family Bank.

CFAO Mobility Kenya Managing Director Arvinder Reel said the firm is committed to maintaining the highest technical and mechanical standards on locally assembled buses.

"With a decade-long partnership and a fleet of 37 Hino buses, we remain dedicated to providing vehicles that consistently deliver reliability and efficiency in your operations," Reel stated.

Reel added that the deal is part of the firm's goal to support Kenya's economy through technical knowledge transfer and training and create employment opportunities across its various lines of operations.

Nairobi is home to over 4 million residents, requiring a reliable public transportation system.

"With the new fleet, MetroTrans will be able to enhance its service delivery, expand its routes, and provide a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers," MetroTrans Chairman Oscar Rosanna said.

"This partnership has and will continue to be instrumental in helping us meet the growing demand for reliable public transportation."
