It is still business as usual for matatu operators in the region even as police intensify their crackdown to enforce traffic rules.

A number of public service vehicles (PSVs) have yet to secure permits from the Transport Licensing Board, their drivers and conductors are still not wearing the mandated uniforms, and they continue to overload passengers in their vehicles.
