Let's now wait for gazettement of the "decrees" by CS Kamau. So it means for D/C pick-up there will be no Annual inspection by Motor Vehicle Inspector?

Some routes just don't have the demand for a 33 seater especially during the of peak period except probably Christmas period.

Me thinks the government is not interested in decongesting the city.
10-14 seaters can operate on upcountry routes but their terminals should be outside the city as follows:
Western Kenya-Westlands
Coast/Ukambani/A.River-Bellevue
Mt Kenya -Githurai
N.Eastern-Eastleigh

This would free considerable space in the CBD.

Are the 14 seaters the only ones that bring congestion.? I believe its the reckless driving and dropping of passagers that is partly to blame for that notion.i think its the very many saloon cars that carry on average a single person that are largely to blame.let cities introduce access levies to private non commercial cars.the government should before banning matatus should come up with a subway solution between kenyatta hospital to jogoo road,westlands to industrial area etc
