Those who spoke to Nairobi News said they were caught unaware by the test run.
There were no connecting buses as passengers had to walk from the terminus to their various destinations, with a traffic snarl-up stretching from Haile Selassie roundabout to Community area.
“I have a child and I have to go to Parklands, how would I get there?” a frustrated passenger wondered.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has this morning toured various development projects in Nairobi County including the Green Park Bus Terminus at the Railways Club.
Uhuru who was accompanied by ODM leader Raila Odinga inspected the matatu terminus that was constructed by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services, NMS.
During the impromptu tour that caught many unawares, Uhuru and Raila who were dressed casually were taken around the nearly half-finished park that has already been fitted with shades and eats for commuters to sit as they wait for their rides.
