The plan to phase out low-capacity public service vehicles (PSVs) is a good one, since it will lead to the decongestion of Nairobi city. I know the decision will be painful to those who have invested heavily in the sector, but we all have to agree it is time to sort out the city traffic jam menace once and for all.
Reliance on low-capacity PSVs, which include the ubiquitous 14-seater matatus, is not sustainable. In fact, they are the reason traffic gridlocks are experienced in the city.
