Matatu operators have continued to protest teh planned introduction Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
The operators have termed the plan as unfair when they had invested millions of shillings to buy 33-seater vehicles.
Association of Matatu Operators (AMO) Secretary General Kenedy Ochieng said the plan was rushed and stakeholders were not consulted.
“We have invested heavily in the industry, the government needed to have included us in making this better, we welcome the BRTs but we want them to collect passengers at designated areas and operate only in the Central Business District,” said Mr Ochieng.
He stated that most matatu owners were servicing loans and the transport model will disadvantage them.
Last week, the government through Ministry of Roads started marking roads that will be used strictly by BRTs.
This came after the unveiling of the National Youth Service (NYS) buses to cushion passengers against high fares.
