Matatu operators in Nairobi argue that the plan by Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) to relocate public service vehicles (PSVs) from the city centre is hurried and could fail. Kimutai said stakeholders in the transport industry with an understanding of traffic flow in Nairobi need to be brought on board and not “cartels” pretending to be stakeholders. “All vehicles terminate their journey in the city centre and they will need a holding ground as they wait for commuters. “There is no clear connectivity from the terminal to the city centre and beyond. But when we all have to drop our passengers in the city centre, we will wait for the ones to carry back,” said the MOA boss.
