How were the Metro Trans passengers helped?
The Metro Trans bus was around Gill House on Moi Avenue, and some women were seen screaming from the windows.
Finally, it came to a screeching halt at the intersection of Harambee and Moi Avenues, and the people inside, including the driver, could not wait to jump out of it.
"They lobbed tear gas in the bus, did they want to kill us?," posed a woman who was screaming as gas stung into her eyes.
"How were we supposed to go home? How heartless can they be?," she cried while being held by sympathetic passersby.
