A local bus company has cited losses to the tune of Sh15 million owing to the night travel ban effected by the NTSA. Easy Coach said that since the ban on night travel was implemented in response to road carnage that saw more than 200 lives lost in less than a month, the firm lost a lot of revenue. Dossa said that although NTSA was making strides in policy formulation aimed at increasing road safety, there was a lack of stakeholder involvement which ultimately takes stunts progress in the sector. "During peak seasons, drivers get little rest time between trips hence high fatigue levels that compromise road safety," he said. "The Centres would also be used by PSV operators to upgrade their drivers and perform basic health and eye checks," he said.
