Nairobi Transit directions now available on Google Maps

From today, every Nairobi resident and guests of the city can plan their route with Google Maps when using public transport. Working in collaboration with Digital Matatus, we have made bus & matatus (minibuses/ minivans used as public transport) routes information available to the public, for free, on maps.google.co.ke.

This new Transit feature on Google Maps will make it quick and easy for anyone within Nairobi to find the best route for wherever they're going, whether that's to the local park, or across Nairobi from Komarock to Kawangare.


This initiative is part of our mission to make Google Maps more comprehensive, more accurate and useful for millions of people around the world who use buses and matatus to reach the next destination. As a result of this close cooperation with Digital Matatus, Nairobi now joins the over 2800 towns and cities having this very useful and convenient feature, including Lagos, Johannesburg, Tokyo and Sydney. 


The Transit feature on Google Maps is free, and can be accessed either via the web browser, as well as the Google Maps app on both the Android and iOS platforms. To plan a journey simply click on the ‘Get Directions’ button in Google Maps, then click the ‘public transport’ icon before entering your place of departure and destination. We’ll calculate the quickest way for you to get from A to B and suggest the transport that most conveniently suits your time of travel.

Les itinéraires Nairobi Transit désormais disponibles sur Google Maps

À partir d’aujourd’hui, grâce à Google Maps, les habitants de Nairobi et les personnes de passage dans la capitale pourront planifier leurs itinéraires en transport en commun. En collaboration avec Digital Matatus, les informations concernant les itinéraires des bus et des matabus (minibus/ minivans utilisés pour les transports en commun) sont désormais accessibles gratuitement sur maps.google.co.ke.

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité proposée sur Google Maps permettra à toute personne résidant à Nairobi de trouver rapidement et facilement le meilleur itinéraire, que ce soit pour se rendre dans le parc le plus proche ou pour traverser l’agglomération de Komarock à Kawangare.

Cette initiative s’inscrit dans le cadre de notre mission visant à faire de Google Maps un outil plus complet, plus précis et plus utile pour des millions d’usagers à travers le monde qui empruntent les bus et les matatus pour se déplacer. Résultat de la coopération étroite entre Digital Matatus et Google, Nairobi a rejoint les quelque 2 800 villes qui bénéficient déjà de cette fonctionnalité utile et pratique, notamment Lagos, Johannesburg, Tokyo et Sydney.

Google Transit est une fonctionnalité gratuite pour tous, disponible sur Google Maps à partir de votre navigateur web, ainsi que sur Google Maps pour mobile sur plateformes Android et iOS. Pour planifier un itinéraire, il suffit de cliquer sur le bouton « Itinéraire » dans Google Maps, puis de cliquer sur l’icône « Transport public » avant d’entrer votre lieu de départ et de destination. Le logiciel calcule l’itinéraire le plus rapide pour vous rendre du point A au point B et propose le moyen de transport le mieux adapté à votre temps de parcours.
