@ All, of course we can't say that they are perfect, I'm aware of the overlapping cases, but can we compare them with their nearest competitor-city hopper/city shuttle.
Look at their fares, they are fair, clearly displayed and you always get a receipt.
What other standards are we looking for? there are red/white buses (Rwaken) which ply the umoja route in the evening , they are equally good as double M.wish we could have more of this. God loves a Trier!

Ur right, they are equally good. lets hope that they can increase their fleet and serve more areas in the city. “small step for man”

Enyewe, watu wameumia sana in the hands of matatus in Nairobi. ....  Those are just the old ruthless kayole matatus. They've been so painted coz of the new regulations, about every matatu belonging to some sacco. Otherwise its the same shit, different colour!! the early worm is eaten by the early bird

double m has good service compared to other competitors. the comfort and the attendance of the conductor is good. however, i sometimes doubt the competence of their drivers. Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It happens every day. ~Albert Camus, The Fall, 1956

I was once overcharged by a double M BUSS. Not so funny.

Just gone to Kisumu and back, by a new bus service "The Guardian". This bus has truly redefined transportation on this route. Hostess, drinks, video, music, aircon - Msa like buses. My only problem is with the hostesses - cute little things who can't assist the driver change a tyre if we got a puncture. After having paid 1,300/- for the experience, I really dont expect to soil my self helping change tyres. On this score, Coast Malo still leads, others follow - the turnboy is a rugged unshaved pal who can even fend off the Tsavo lions, and give me the comfort I need.
