- W764803051 abstract "Public service transport in the city of Nairobi is operated by a few bus companies and the paratransit matatus. Because of the many problems associated with the paratransit mode, especially a high rate of road crashes, the draft Integrated National Transport Policy recommended the need: “To concession routes to SACCOs and bus companies capable of operating them efficiently and in affordable and safe manner”. This paper examines transport services with emphasis on those provided by PSVs on Thika Road. Information was gathered from key informants who included, directors of the Matatu Owners Association and Kenya Bus Services, route managers and crew. It was found that some form of hybrid mode of transport already exists in the form of paratransit matatus and larger buses operated by bus companies with potential for being strengthened into an effective hybrid mode comprising BRT and some paratransit PSVs. 1 BACKGROUND The hybrid system of public road transport comprises complementary operations of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) and the paratransit modes. Such hybrid services have existed in the city of Nairobi between bus companies and paratransit matatus. BRT which refers to a formal mode of transport operated by established firm(s) using large buses and trams on dedicated bus lanes, offboard fare payments and limited number of stops has not yet been introduced in City of Nairobi. Paratransit is an informal mode which uses midi-buses and vans managed by individuals and various types of groups such as Savings and Credit Societies (SACCOs) and route associations. The draft Integrated National Transport Policy (RoK, INTP) formulated in 2003 recognized the fact that public road transport services were dominated by the paratransit mode, matatu, with a large number of smaller (14 seater) occupancy vehicles. It, among other things, required a shift from the smaller to high occupancy vehicles which were more economical and able to reduce congestion and the problem of reckless driving that" @default.
