Good to follow on LinkedIn

Ben Mokaya, a transport consultant at Myriade and a writer with a sharp, original lens on transport, sustainability, and the everyday journeys that shape our cities, is our must-follow on LinkedIn, this week.

As an alumnus of the Agora Sustainable Transport Fellowship (Agora Verkehrswende and GIZ) and with a background in electrical engineering, Ben’s passionate about building smarter, more sustainable transit systems.

But he isn’t just another technical expert - he’s a storyteller. His writing brings transport to life in unexpected ways. Take his recent piece on a trip to Kitengela: he didn’t just document the journey, he captured the unspoken rhythms of public transport - the gender balance on the bus, the quiet choreography of daily commutes. His observations don’t just inform; they immerse you in the lived reality of transit.

If you’re interested in smart solutions, real talk about urban mobility, or just love a good story, Ben’s blend of insight and personal stories is a great place to look.
