Commuters stranded in Nairobi following the Public Service Vehicles strike, on May 18, 2026. [Jonah Onyango, Standard]
The nationwide public transport vehicles strike has paralysed transport along the usually busy Thika Superhighway.

The few vehicles that were available were charging exorbitant fares with commuters being asked to pay Sh200 for a distance that normally costs Sh50.
