Translation. “Be creative guys, team up as four people, request for uber/taxi and share cost…..”.
Passengers were all stranded in the morning trying to catch a matatu to work most of it in vein which has brought on board frustration and delays in kick starting the week.
The government has turned to the late Transport Minister John Michuki’s guidebook on how to bring back sanity on the roads, giving the public transport sector up to November 12 (tomorrow) to comply with a set of strict conditions.
Matiang’i and Macharia have given a grace period of two weeks for all stakeholders to comply with the new rules but clearly they did not comply and opted to pull their vehicles off the road. Kenyans have resulted to alternatives.

At Jogoo-Outer Ring Road, fares had shot up to Sh200 from Pipeline to the Central Business District (CBD) as commuters in Donholm parted with Sh100 more than the usual Sh30-Sh50 fares.
There are fears the fares could go higher with times.
“I’ve walked from Embakasi where the fare was Sh200. I’ve found that it’s Sh100 at Donholm and I’ll continue to walk until I get a place where they will charge at least Sh80 to town,” Ms Josephine Mueni said.
