those matatu buses look so local.
imagine having those in New York how terrible it would spoil the beauty of that city.

please why spoil the beauty of Nairobi with such ugly art work..
finish your Brt fast and take those things to villages. not fit for a modern city.
cabs should be single or maximum 3 colour paint work.

You see that thing

Part of Nairobi beauty is Matatus; It well recognised art; World super stars when they get put on Matatu recognised it game;
We have normal boring buses; And we have matatus; for those who enjoy it;
so why should a city be all Yellow like Nigeria

In Nairobi or Kenya - you choose - there are normal city buses; and they are matatus;
Most young people prefer matatus;

NewYork Times on Matatu.

its not like a choice that they make, its the only option they can afford

Kenya is not under developed communist ghana. Kenya is capitalist state; there is everything for every prize; including a house for 1 dollar; a matatu for 10 cent;

There are buses - without any music or graffit

Kenyans have debated on matatu culture; and decided it going to be part of our culture. Keep doing the coffins and vodoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad Kenya runs like a communist dictatorship



A house for one dollar?

Even the shacks of Mathare cost 30 Euros per month

30 dollars is cement mortar house; there are house way cheaper than that; Nairobi has everything for everyone; it pure capitalism

As for our well recognized Matatus - Listen to Moha - one of the icon of the industry.

Riding Matatu is one of the things to do in Nairobi

Tell us which of these shacks is cement mortar house

I don't think there are that many blind folks here. That slumlord houses are not made of mud or clay or tins or shacks. Rent in Nairobi slums start at 5 dollars. Those are mud walled or cartoon shacks. Next would be iron sheet walled - for about 10 dollars. 30 dollars is almost slum rich - and almost graduating to lower middle class - where rent start at 50 dollars. That is pipeline slumscrappers. Then it get to 100 dollars for Umojas; then 200-300 dollars for most Nairobis eastland (2/3 of Nairobeans); then 400-500 dollars for middle class; and upper middle class start from 600-700; and all the way to upper class where rent is 5-7k dollars a month.

it's 30 Euros for a zinc shack in a slum and that is so depressing.

Considering you can get a decent 30 to 40 square meter one-bedroom apartment which has toilet, kitchen and bath in it for that amount in Accra

say the guy from the nation of many slums

Knight-Frank - Africa Horizons report 2021

Nairobi is the top city in Africa for innovation and ranks among the top 100 globally. The city offers a good balance between the number of research institutions, available innovation funding and innovation activity (including start-up activity), as well as ease of doing business.

It is closely followed by Cape Town, Kampala and Cairo respectively.

Yes you are proud of them

But they too messed up for my liking

Mess up with cities beauty too much noise noise for a city setup. But anyway that not for me to like I'm not in Kenya that's just my opinion.

edit...

A 27km tt (18km eleveted) ultra modern road in africa.
The height alone is magnificent

Only SA outside kenya can brag about something like this .

Progress..

The matatus on your street are just too rickety

What would you call these?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14SS-QCSPcY

Matatus are not allowed everywhere; they are not allowed in business districts and middle class estates; So they make their noises and flash colours where it appreciated; The customers dictate the taste of the matatus; the more pim.ped appeal to young crowds.

Some zombies here might think we only thrive in nganyas.
Mash poa and easy coach are some among many bus companies which transport passengers around kenya.

Please Stfu shackman.

Random common busses for a common citizen.

We thrive in this sector.

We have variety of city bus but nganyas are undisputably the best.

Club busses.

Airport busses in Kenya .

Of all the pics I've posted, Nganyas are still the best.... And I'm done.

hello old man, been a while.
your sarcasm was poor Though. yes danfos are strictly Yello with black strips.
simple and beautiful.

if it's about building city for kids, then we can paint the whole city rainbow.
of course the matatu is in Kenya so it's acceptable and perfect.

Final.
