Relocating matatus from Nairobi CBD a double-edged sword
Friday January 01 2021
From the look of things the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) is hell-bent on relocating the essential commuter public service vehicles from the central business district (CBD).
The NMS says the move is part of its plan to decongest traffic in the capital city.
But this plan is lopsided and not backed by any facts about transport in Nairobi.
Currently we have over 700,000 motor vehicles driven on the city’s roads daily.
Out of these only 18,000 are public service vehicles (PSVs) enabling various Kenyans access their economic activities places.
PSVs are the mass movers of 80 percent of Kenyans going to their working places daily.
