"It is now eight years and we are still going strong with notable improvement over the years in response to customers' expectations," said Abdi Bare, chairman of Kenya Railways Corporation. Bare added that both the SGR passenger and freight service have revolutionized mobility in the country, promoting connectivity, trade and industrial progress.

By the end of May 2025, the SGR has transported over 15.3 million passengers and over 40.3 million tons of cargo.
