This is a working business my brother! My cuzo is deep into that biz......with two nissans that ply some two different routes in Nairobi. As from 7 there are no cops on the road and the crew do not get ways of manipulating you. Mat za mchana ndio balaa.

You just park it mtaani. because the car has no yellow line so it remains as private in the eyes of individuals.

@ UPC,
What I don't get is how these 'fake' mats operate w/o being harassed by goons hired by the 'genuine' ones?
Also,are these 'fake' vehicles insured?Whichever way looks like they are well driven..Who inducted your rela to this biz?I would imagine the fares get friendly as the roads clear into the night?

I've seen these very very old Nissans on waiyaki way for a very long time. they run almost through the night on many other routes.
returns of 1k/2k sounds plausible

They are not insured.......i havent witnessed any accident involving the said mats. Maybe coz at night the roads are clear hence a bit safe.

My relative was inducted by some owners who also have the vehicles. Fares are fixed......at night...tao - kahawa west..100/=, so 14 passengers is 1400. When coming back to tao, say you get 6 passengers paying 50 bob each...300......if you make two trips, to-and-fro, u are assured of 2k.......weekend things are good....hata 4k is possible.
