Public transport operators now want county governments to set up adequate parking lots to ease their operations and reduce the time spent between trips.
The motorists expressed their reservations during a road safety sensitisation forum on Wednesday, May 21, which was also attended by officials from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
Addressing the press in Mombasa County, the transport operators lamented limited parking spaces in most counties, claiming that the situation forced them to park along roads. To address the matter, the drivers called on the county governments to work jointly with the national government to ensure adequate parking spaces to avoid overcrowding and congestion in the available parks.
