When Citi hoppa were recruiting drivers, they should have told the drivers that the vehicles are bigger than the 14 seaters they were used to. On my way home I'm almost guaranteed to find a hoppa in an accident, stalled or pulling the most craziest of stunts to get through traffic. I'm not saying KBS and Double M are any better, they are getting there as well, something went wrong after the owner of Double M passed away. Now, if we thought getting rid of 14 seaters is the end of our problem and the way forward, we need to think again.

On a different note, do the matatus own the title deed to Naivasha Road and Kawangware? Where are the traffic police?

BBI will solve it

If you think Citi Hoppa drivers are the craziest then you've probably not had an experience with those Kayole buses.
Impunity

Forward travellers on jogoo road all the way to Kayole. they own the roads and the policemen in the area.

You're saying the lady who told us how double M came about died?
This then will indicate how family businesses fail when the originators dies and no clear succession plan is in place.
When the business remains to kids who never took keen interest on the businesses but partying are left to now manage them.
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

Clearly, public transport in Nairobi is a disaster. I've been trying to get any interested media house to do a jicho pevu on the nightmare they cause and impunity but no luck yet. I just can't understand how a matatu parks in the middle of the road blocking traffic waiting for customers to fill up?

Nope it is the man who died, followed closely by one of his best/most trusted managers. that is why nowadays Double M are behaving like any other ordinary matatu.

Do not kill people. It is the husband who died.
