Hi all,

some experiences are better forgotten....

the return of the 'Normal Nairobi Mathree' reminds of this time in 1998 when i was going to work and the mat from zimmerman was full to capacity...i was seated next to the isle and the guy standing next to me was sick,got squeezed real hard and threw up....the contents of his stomach landed squarely on my head...had to alight at GSU with my head and shoulders covered with sukuma wiki and ugali pieces...the most annoying some pieces of chewed meat landed in my front shirt pocket.....

.....and you tell me to go back to the full Nairobi mathree..not me!


NEVER TALK OF A RHINO IF THERE IS NO TREE NEAREBY - ZULU PROVERB

Githae is out of his mind!!!

He can think about going back to standing passengers because he never uses public transport. He should borrow a leaf from the Mayor of London who rides arround on a bicycle.

Anyway; Kenya could be the only country in the world where PSVs are not allowed to carry standing passengers on urban routes. But that is not something to be ashamed of,nay,it is something to be proud of!!

The sh29b Githae talks about being lost in traffic jams is a cost that we should willingly pay in order to get decent transportation. Furthermore,there is no evidence to support the notion that allowing standing passengers will reduce traffic jams significantly.

We know the real problem lies in the roundabouts and no one wants to tackle it........
Remove the round abouts and no more jams

Woi! Am with Nanfor on this one....forget the smelly armpits and butts being squeezed on your face,i speak for the women who've undergone traumatic pine tree experiences in the hands of peverts in our overloaded matatus and buses!

I went to a day high school and i learnt mapema that if you have to survive sexual assault in buses and mats,you have to be rough. I thus invested in a number of compasses and dividers(zile za mathematical set) and every time i felt a pine tree on my behind,my sharp compass/divider would swiftly manoeuvre its way from my bag to someones balls and pine tree(though the divider worked better with its two sharp points). I still remember the screeches of pain those buggers used to unleash,and of course the agony and embarrasment they had to undergo while trying to explain what happened!heheee.

Then,there was this time in a mat when i was asked to simama between these two seated 'wababa' and BTW,this used to be a better option to being squeezed in the middle lane by the conductor and suffering the elbow shoves and being stepped on as guys fought to alight from the mat! So,there i am,squeezed between this two guys,and kidogo kidogo..i feel a hand tracing its way on my thighs(am in a school skirt BTW),i turn and ask the very stern looking mbaba 'unafanya?' And you guessed right,he completely ignores me and looks out the window! A few minutes later,i felt the hands again! Being very short tempered,i couldnt take it any more,i just grabbed my compass and divider and turned furiously on the mbaba straight at his face! Guys in the mat were shocked to hear what this old guard was doing to a school gal,so the mat was stopped,the guy thrown out and given 'kichapo cha mbwa' especially by the conductors who happend to have seen me regulary in the mat. Years later,i still wonder what explanation that mbaba gave to his wife and kids concerning the bloodied scratched face,torn clothes and black eye! Disgusting pevert!

For the sake of women and young girls living among peverts in our society,I highly disapprove Githes move,Unless they legalize self defense weapons too while at it...

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

when will we stop chasing our tails...???

I'm the real Massey F.....shut your mouth

We dismiss the idea of standing passengers just coz of our inability to control our pine trees and maintain body hygene!!!!!.....rotten society this ours is!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@brav

dont even probe...... its a story and a half... I dont love being hated but his case was exempted.

@Mcrg
I didnt realise that!! I hope you now believe me i wasnt at the previous mbuzi ;-)).... I might have grown taller if we wait for RTS and Pondi's mbuzis..... - if they come before 2017.... Those are the major issues,others we can handle - like purses disappearing and the squeezes etc.

@leona
sounds like just yesterday! Those stories were all too common............ and this dude says we go back to that........ hey,asha weee.... afadhali nikule panya.....

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I still vividly recall the day when a traffic police intercepted an Eastlanda bound matatu at Pangani police station. The policemen counted 86 heads + 2 touts and a driver as they stepped out of the 25 seater NKR matatu.

Simply put,those rigs from GM are not safely designed to carry standing passengers. At Fiumicino,Heathrow and many other airports,you will find buses which are safely designed with the centres of gravity being so low that the chances of overturning are almost nil. Or reintroduce the ERF buses like the kind formerly operated by KBS. Some lunatics from two of our lunee bins tried in vain to overturn them on two occasions.

Back to pines,tents and bla blah. One woman,noticing that her behind was being pined asked ' Hai mzee,kwani hiyo ni nini?' and the mzee went ' Si hiyo ni sehemu ya mwili kama ingine!'. The whole matatu burst into uncontrollable laughter.


We tenda wema kisha wende zako. Usinipe macho ya kutarajia shukrani!!!
