The Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) slowed operations along the Roysambu road and at the Kahawa West roundabout, with no passengers being picked up or dropped off at the prescribed time.
The standoff caused a traffic jam during rush hour as travellers sought alternate routes to their offices.

He claimed that the other matatus feared competition and blocked the stage. They shut down the Roysambu to Kahawa West and the roundabout stage.
