Happy World Public Transport Day 2026!

Nairobi’s celebrations began with a vibrant procession from Upper Hill to the Kenya National Archives, uniting partners and stakeholders in a shared commitment to better public transport.

The day continued with an exhibition where sector players showcased innovations and solutions shaping the future of mobility. The event was graced by UITP Africa Head, Laverne Dimitrov, alongside partners including Nairobi City County Government, State Department for Transport Kenya, Kenya Police Service NTSA KENYA and Federation of Public Transport Sector

As the day ends, we celebrate everyone who keeps Kenya moving, from matatu crews and SGR teams to bodaboda riders, planners, engineers, and commuters.
Public transport is more than movement, it’s how Kenya moves.

ONE DAY. MILLIONS OF JOURNEYS.

Kenya is a nation defined by its movement. 🇰🇪

On World Public Transport Day, we celebrate the vast network of operators, SACCOs, and commuters who keep our country turning. Public transport is the backbone of the Kenyan journey—connecting us to our markets, our offices, and our homes.

The Ministry of Roads and Transport recognises that an efficient system requires a strong partnership between the public and private sectors. Our focus is on creating a modernised, safe, and integrated environment where every operator can thrive and every passenger can travel with dignity.

We are working to bring better coordination and reliable infrastructure to the routes you use every day. When our transport systems are organised and efficient, every Kenyan wins.

Join us and the rest of the world as we celebrate World Public Transport Day on 17 April with only 3 days and 9 hours left to the day!

ONE DAY. MILLIONS OF JOURNEYS.

Launched by International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and global partners, and announced during the UN High-Level Meeting on Sustainable Transport, World Public Transport Day (WPTD) is a global moment to recognise the essential role public transport plays in our everyday lives.

From getting to work and school, to connecting communities and opportunities, public transport keeps our cities moving and our economies growing.

As we count down to 17 April, we celebrate the journeys and the people behind every trip, here in Kenya and across the world.
