SGR rakes in Ksh.1B in first year of service

In Summary

- During the one year period 1,144 trips have been made on the SGR. This equals transporting close to 1.3 million customers between Nairobi and Mombasa at a cost of 700 and 3000 shillings for economy and first class respectively.
- The government in the process raked in an estimated 1 billion shillings in revenues.
- Experts have since warned that if this trend continues, then the investment will not yield value for taxpayer’s money.

That's roughly 10 million US dollars, I believe
