The fee will be charged to the traders who will be operating at the terminal and advertising from the spaces provided at the terminus among others.

According to the NMS Transport and Public Works Director Engineer Michael Ochieng, the will be used to maintain the terminus used to drop-off and pick up point for matatus operating along Ngong Road and Langa’ta Road.

The Director said the token fee, which is being developed by stakeholders, will help the terminal maintain itself in a sustainable manner rather than as a commercial enterprise.

The fee will be used to maintain a clean environment by the management team that will be in charge of managing the terminus.

“The park will operate a certain fee, a token fee, which enables its sustainability. It will translate to what activities will be within the park, what traders will sell, (and) use of the ablution blocks, among others,” said Mr. Ochieng.

Apart from the place being a matatu terminus, various amenities will also be available to the commuters and matatu crew i.e. a dispensary, supermarket, restaurant, and a sitting bay where commuters can wait for matatus.
