"This will involve dropping and picking of passengers for PSVs. Extension has been made to ensure this information reaches all commuters and PSV operators," read the statement in part.
In an earlier notice, the entity headed by Major General Mohammed Badi had announced that it would ban matatus from accessing six bus stations while conducting its third Green Park terminus test run.
The initial rehearsal was scheduled for 6 am to 8 am but in the revised version, the exercise will last for 16 hours.
All public service vehicles using Langata Road, Ngong Road, Argwings Kodhek Road to Kikuyu, Ngong, Kawangware, Dagoreti, Kibera, Highrise, Ngumo, Rongai, Kiserian, Otiende, Langata, Otiende, Madaraka and Nairobi West will be directed to drop and pick passengers at the Green Park terminus.
Matatus operating at these six stations; Moi Avenue Service Lane (Outside Development, AGRHO and Gill houses), Nairobi Railway Station Bus Terminus, Hakati Stage, Ambassador, Mfangano Street and Kencom will also use the Green Park Terminus during the test run.
Machakos and Kitengela bound PSVs operating from the Nairobi Railway Station Bus Terminus will use Lusaka Road from Nyayo Stadium roundabout to Hakati Bus terminus where Langata and Nairobi West/Madaraka vehicles operate from.
