Super Metro Sacco Suspends Service For 3 Days
Super Metro Limited, the city’s public transportation operator, has declared a three-day suspension of operations.
Super Metro stated that it has achieved 90% compliance with the orders given by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Transport Licensing Appeals Board (TLAB).
On March 20, Super Metro operations were halted to ensure compliance with road safety regulations.
However, days later, the court lifted the order, enabling the buses to resume normal operations.
In a Facebook post on Monday, the Sacco stated that they are committed to completely complying with all regulatory regulations to ensure passenger safety and satisfaction.
“Following a hearing with the Transport Licensing Appeals Board today, the Board has directed Super Metro Limited to suspend operations for the next three days to finalise the remaining compliance measures,” Super Metro said in a statement.
Super Metro Limited stated that it completely respects the TLAB and the court’s rulings.
“We are working diligently to address the outstanding compliance issues within the stipulated timeframe and will resume operations as soon as we receive approval from the relevant authorities.”
The business apologized for any difficulty that the temporary suspension may cause to consumers and stakeholders.

“Super Metro Limited remains dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transport services, and we appreciate your understanding and support during this period.”
The NTSA claimed that the March suspension was due to a number of infractions by the operator, including expired inspection certificates and road service licenses, expired speed limiter certificates, a lack of speed limiter records and vendor information, among others.
The authority also alleged that several driver credentials did not satisfy the required standards and were in breach of the regulations governing the operation of public service vehicles.
The government also specified the conditions that Super Metro must achieve in order to have its operating license revived.

The conditions included presenting 294 automobiles with varied offenses to the appropriate speed limiter vendors for compliance assessments.
“The Company must present 294 vehicles with violations for compliance inspection at Likoni Motor Vehicle Inspection Centre and obtain compliance reports for all the vehicles,” NTSA stated in the statement.
“Present 42 drivers, out of the 109 drivers with speed violations, for a retest at the Likoni Driver Test Centre.”
The authority noted that 64 of the Company’s drivers failed a retest on March 10, 2025, and this led to the suspension of their respective driving licenses.
