Matatus are the main mode of public transport in Kenya. They’re decorated inside and out with pictures, TVs, satellites, etc. The most creative ones are obviously in Nairobi. I always laugh when I see matatus in town because most of them have funny things written on the windshield or body. For instance, they write how many passengers they usually carry. Some creative ones on the top of my head:
- 14 Passengers (the normal one)
- 14 Hustlers
- 14 Blacks (ahh, am I allowed in?)
- Watu 14 (14 “people”)
- 14 Warembo (14 “beauties”)
- 14 Wateja (14 “customers”)
