A new terminal at the junction of Bunyala Road will now serve PSVs along Mombasa Road.
Muthurwa terminus is expected to remain as the end point for matatus from Jogoo and Lusaka roads.
Chairman of Matatu and Boda Boda operators in the city, Kushian Muchiri, assured the authorities that this time the move will not face opposition.
"The reason why the previous plans by the government never worked was because we were never involved, they would just wake up on a random morning and say no PSV will enter the CBD, and we had to comply," he stated.
