Introduction to NTSA Suspended Super Metro license
One of the most prestigious Matatu Sacco’s of Nairobi, is facing a major setback after National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) suspended its operating license. The decision, announced on March 19, 2025 has created widespread concern among daily Commuters who rely on the Sacco’s structured and reliable services. The reason as to why NTSA Suspended Super Metro license was to take part in its widespread effort to implement transportation safety rules and ensure compliance in all public transport operators.
Why NTSA Suspended Super Metro License
According to NTSA officials, the suspension follows multiple violations, including non-compliance with safety rules and operational guidelines. The Standard and Business Daily highlight concerns such as overloading, careless driving and failure to meet NTSA’s public transport requirements.
In recent months, NTSA has intensified cracks on non-compliant matatu Sacco’s, citing safety concerns. A report from Nation Africa suggests that the suspension of the Super Metro’s stems from accumulated traffic violations and passenger security complaints. Despite its reputation for the order, recent incident forced NTSA to take action.
Impact on Nairobi Commuters
The suspension has left thousands of daily commuters stranded, especially on the major routes of the Super Metro, including Nairobi CBD, Kikuyu, Thika Road and Ngong Road. Many passengers have been forced to look for alternative transport options, some turning to ride-hailing services such as Uber and Bolt, which are quite expensive.
Public transport experts have warned that this suspension may increase fares on alternative Matatu routes. Analysts interviewed by The Star predict that other Matatu Sacco’s may take advantage of the situation by raising prices due to increased demand.
