The reason I suspect few of us do is because mathrees are driven by uncouths, look uncouth, have uncouth radio volumes and so forth.
Undoing Michuki's work is an idiot's idea...
On my usual route some of the 33 seater buses (likes of Rasasi and Jaset) are really trying to style up. The buses are new, clean, the crew is clean, no obscene or loud music, no garish colours, the seats are comfortable ...it is a good ride and I am using them increasingly these days.
The 14 seater ones however are old, dirty, rickety, a blight on the road. You can even see a slow shift as people ignore the small matatus (especially after rush hour) and wait for the buses to come along.
The ban on 14 seater matatus should have stayed.
