The High Court has stopped the Nairobi County government from levying the new parking fees.
Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko moved to court Friday and obtained the stop orders, pending the hearing of a petition lodged by Kenya Taxi Cabs Association.
The hearing of the petition is set for April 4.
On Wednesday, matatu and taxi operators went on strike to protest against the increase levies, blocking traffic within the city and on other roads including Mombasa, Jogoo and Thika roads.
The strike forced many residents of the city to walk to work early Wednesday morning.
Monthly seasonal tickets for private salon cars now stand at Sh5000 while buses have to pay Sh8000 to operate at designated terminals.
