Workers hoping to make it back to their jobs are set to suffer inconvenience after the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) banned night travel starting yesterday (Sunday).

Employees, school children and East African commuters will suffer the most as their scheduled travels will have to be cancelled in compliance with the NTSA notice.
