For its versatility, one would only belittle the
Probox out of sheer ignorance or frenzy mob mentality. Kenyans have "peculiar habits" Someone would go to great lengths to buy a
Merc to look "unique" but still stay in
Umoja.
The
Probox(es) currently ruling Kenyan roads have been in use in Japan for 8 years and the japs have been using them without a fuss.
OK they may no look particularly pleasing to the eye, but from a functional point of view nothing beats them.
If they can chew the road from
Meru to
Eastleigh in two hours when full of
Miraa (khat), even the much dreaded
Hilux is taking a notice.
