Matatus have been there for a while. In the 90s there was an explosion of souped-up mini buses. Used to call them macoach, manori etc. The routes 58, 23 and 9 were leaders in that biz. If you were going to hizo areas, kupanda coach ilikua mitu ya muhimu. I was in teenage years, and the few names I can still remember ni Horse, Eliza Kid. BIZNIZ, Aberdares Scorpion. Zilikua mingi sana, a new thing was coming up.

93/94 route 145 Ruiru we had HiTech, 2 sister ma3s with crazy sound system, ustake jua vile watu walikua wanapangwa ndani
Number 9 we had Rosa in the begining.They had no names but we knew them by their registration.Then came the fabricators and gave us Rainbow,blackstreet et al:D:D:D:D good ol days
Kumbe wewe ni mkongwe wa rika yangu.
Kama uliona Shadow,the first souped up mathree ya Eastleigh wewe ni fossl bigwig kwa hizi streets…
Creativity was required to give hizo coach a great look and even name. Slow Coach is another name I recall. Zingine were better known by their reg. numbers. The new numbers bado hazikua zimefikiwa. XF was enough to know a ma3.
Namba 9 ilkuwa inatesa mbaya dem days. Kulkuwa na mat ilkuwa inaitwa “Night Nurse”
