Transport regulators finally cracked down on reckless bus companies. The Kenyan National Transport and Safety Authority suspended multiple public transport operators for serious safety breaches and repeated traffic violations. These companies failed to meet required standards, with some linked to fatal accidents during a recent festive period.
Guardian Coach Limited faces suspension after an accident along the Nairobi-Naivasha Road. The authority ordered inspections for two dozen vehicles and suspended eighteen drivers' licenses for speed offenses. Nanyuki Express Cab Services must present over a hundred vehicles for checks, with twenty-six driver licenses also suspended.
Greenline Company Ltd received directives for its entire fleet of thirty-three vehicles. Twenty-nine drivers had their licenses suspended for exceeding speed limits. Naekana Route 134 Sacco Ltd was ordered to inspect a large number of vehicles, with eighteen driver licenses suspended.
Uwezo Coast Shuttle faces a full operational suspension for ignoring regulatory summons. Monna Comfort Sacco must present nineteen vehicles for inspection, and twenty-six driver's licenses are suspended. The authority mandated that all suspended operators cease services immediately until meeting every requirement.
NTSA warned the public against using vehicles from these suspended companies. The action is part of broader efforts to improve road safety and discipline within the public transport sector. Continued violations could result in permanent license cancellations for the operators.
