So who is complaining?

Muchr. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. All buses in the metro areas of every city and every State in America take cash. They have a coin box which dispenses tickets. You definitely have no idea how the park and ride works either. Am not sure where you are getting your information from. Trust me, i lived in the States for 16 years and have been to over 30 States so i think i might know a thing or two about this whole thing. Even Greyhound tickets are purchased using cash. The US is a widely cashless society, but nowhere you go is cash frowned upon. You can use cash anywhere you like, the main reason people prefer plastic is because of the convenience it offers.

This whole idea the Kenyan government is trying to implement on matatus is ludicrous. I won't go through all that trouble of sijui beba pay or whatever you guys are calling it, if i just want to hop into a matatu for a quick trip down the road. It just sounds very ill conceived and exhausting.

The government cannot dictate which form of legal tender i prefer to use, unless they want to do away with cash, i will use cash whenever it's convenient for me, and in matatus is one of those places that i refuse to use any other form of payment. If they don't take my cash then that's their problem, they can take me to small claims court where i will still pay them in cash anyway. Some ideas are very retrogressive. Why are Kenyans policy makers so devoid of common sense?

There was a thread where 2013 goggles were to be left huko 2013. This is a good progress.

We have dependants, relatives, and even our own children who use mats.
