    The international match between Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam on the 5th of January at the Raila Odinga International Stadium will be used to test Line One commuter rail to ferry fans from the Nairobi Central Business District to the Talanta Sports City Complex. Line One will pass through the Nyayo National Stadium Station and the Kibera Station before getting to the Talanta Sports City Complex that hosts the Raila Odinga International Stadium. The line will have a commuter train every ten minutes, carrying 1,500 passengers in eight coaches. That will be 9,000 fans every hour from the CBD to the stadium. This intends to reduce the waiting time from ten minutes to eight minutes, and eventually to having a train every five minutes. In addition, Kenya Railways has added a spur line from Kibera to Line One to serve the Kibera population. The new Line One from the CBD to Talanta Sports City Complex will be ready for use on the 15th of December.
