Transport operations were paralysed across the country on Monday after Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operators began a nationwide strike to protest rising fuel prices, leaving thousands of commuters stranded.
A spot check by The Standard across several counties established that most PSV operators had honoured the strike call, keeping vehicles off the roads in solidarity with the industrial action.
Major cities, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru, which are usually characterised by heavy weekday traffic, remained unusually clear as the strike took effect.
