Passengers were systematically selected and a sample size of 172 was used and this represented the total number of questionnaires that were administered for the study.

The findings of this study reveals that 68.6% of the train passengers were traders, while 89% of the passengers opined that the train transport fare was relatively cheap.

The findings shows that year 2007 recorded the highest frequency of trips representing 18.5% of the total trips between 2007-2013 while 2010 recorded the list frequency of trips representing 10.3% of the total trips between 2007-2013. The findings also indicates that between 2007-2013 the total quantity of freight transported is 4086 metric tons.
