Transport in Nyeri town was thrown into chaos on Monday after PSV drivers and business owners staged protests against their relocation to the new Field Marshal Muthoni Kirima bus terminus.
Matatu operators blocked several roads in the town, paralysing movement and leaving hundreds of passengers, including schoolchildren, stranded. The operators, who marched to the County Commissioner's office, demanded his intervention in the ongoing standoff, arguing that the relocation would affect their businesses and livelihoods.
Operations came to a halt as early as 6am, with vehicles parked across the town's three main bus parks.
