Private firm to run BRT buses under 12-year concession Summary Kenya will offer a private firm a 12-year concession to run bus rapid transport buses (BRT) on Thika and Mombasa roads to ease traffic in Nairobi. Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority acting director-general Francis Gitau said the firm would run 300 BRT buses from next February — ending speculations on who will manage the buses. The concessionaire, Mr Gitau said, would be a single firm or a group of companies in the transport sector.
