Several residents of Ongata Rongai had to brave the chilly evening on Friday to walk over two kilometers after the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) mounted an evening raid.
The residents were forced to walk after some buses and matatus decided to drop passengers at Petrocity Rongai Service Station, about 2 kilometers from Tumaini bus stop.
The night crackdown resulted in a huge traffic snarl-up, which saw some residents spend up to one and a half hours traveling from Nairobi CBD to Rongai, which takes 45 minutes to one hour on average.
NTSA officers and police drawn from Lang'ata and Ongata Rongai Police Stations were posted at the Multimedia University gate and were pulling public service vehicles (PSVs) aside for random checks.
