The matatu sector is one of the most lucrative sectors in Kenya. Apart from the usual drama that gives it the flavor, the sector remains one of the best in creating employment, facilitating the movement of both people and goods, and positively impacting the economy.
As the days move to buy, passengers are shifting their preferences on the kind of matatu they should use. Initially, passengers could hop into any matatu despite the appearance. But now, things have changed and travelers want the best.
The glamour to travel in a cool and classic matatu has led to the mushrooming of the so-called Nganya which is the pimping of matatus to make them attractive. At the same time, passengers are increasingly embracing the use of new and smart matatus.
