Economics will take care of the 14 seater.
Graffiti - no comment

Were it not for the ban, methinks the 33 seater wouldn't even thrive.
But am yet to see any meaningful research in this sector. what have seen are irrational decisions left right centre.

can't understand why kenyan govt officials are so concerned and obsessed with private businesses which seem to be thriving instead of thinking of collapsing public service provision- security, health, education, roads, garbage collection, sewerage, water, toilets

too much nonsensical regulations ..

Nairobi leave rest of kenya ain't london..fact that we have boda boda in CBD should awake commonsense in those official talking about ban on matatus, proboxes

[RV Pundit]

Precisely. They put in regulation in thriving sectors to benefit from corruption.

I like art but the negroes spining the illest matatus are the most reckless and bullies on the roads. Let Kenians indulge in petty vanities

[Mr Mansfield.]

We have very few matatus in Kenya,wikipedia puts the number at 25,000 and not all are in Nairobi,seems vehicles which cause traffic jams are private cars,

Without Prejudice.

Agreed. It could mark the beginning of lawlessness as well. We take 1 stride forward but then 2 backwards. But I hear even Jomo has a soft spot for matatu operators.
In first world countries you find people standing in buses, trains etc, especially those operating within towns.

No it is those slow moving lorries/tankers that do.

Olekoima,
Below is a real-time traffic snapshot at Uhuru Highway/Kenyatta Ave Rndbt.
How many tankers can you see in this deadlock?
