With state of the art plasma tv's and booming sound systems these are definately one of the funkiest modes of transport I have ever seen in the world. It's only that you didn't get to see the funky ones that serve routes 23,15,11,44 and definately 58. I miss matatus.

You know these are the most artistic people you could ever find on this planet.if the roads were better then surely most people would have preferred these to anyother mode of transport.
