While the increasing infection rate in Kenya has been blamed on various factors, public transport has played a significant role. Public transport parks are always overcrowded, especially by matatus. At the onset of the pandemic, the Ministry of Transport adopted a raft of measures and issued directives aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19 through the public transport system. At the time, commuters and public transport operators were asked to strictly adhere to these directives. The appeal today is to public transport operators to adhere strictly to the containment measures introduced by the government.
