The County Assembly of Nairobi has a passed a motion seeking to remove all on-street picking and dropping zones by the PSVs and bodabodas within the Central Business District (CBD). Subsequently, the ward reps want the Nairobi Metropolitan Service to revert all the existing designated bus termini and develop a comprehensive policy on allocation of parking, picking and dropping zones for PSVs. With the last allocation of the parking, picking and dropping zones done in 2000, numerous zones have developed across the CBD contributed to the traffic snarl-ups and congestion. “The designated bus termini are everywhere; look at the bus station, Kencom, GPO, commercial, Koja. Now we have the area around Nazarene University CBD campus where PSVs plying routes 125 and 111 have taken over and are now using as their permanent parking, picking and dropping zones,” Njihia explained.
