Thursday, 27 May 2021 – A few years back, Phantom 808 was one of the hottest matatus in Nairobi.
The flashy matatu that plied the Rongai route used to attract young people like a magnet due to loud music, graffiti, big screens, and neck-breaking speed before things went south.
The once famous nganya is now rotting away after it developed mechanical problems.[ATTACH=full]366553[/ATTACH]
When I become tikitator the first order of business will be to ban these nonsensical nganyas. We must live in a civilized society, matatu culture my foot.
Serious matatu investors don’t “Pimp” their matatuz. Wao hununua ma3 wanaweka everything very basic to the bare minimum wanaikulia miaka mingi. Ukiona mtu ame-pimp ma3 jua either ni kuosha pesa, ama ni a clueless newbie ako na joto ya pesa akaanza kama hobby. Matatu business is competitive in such a way that pimping is not economically viable.
Yes. Some are a disturbance. Ukienda nje ya Kenya, some Yoshimura and Akrapovic exhausts are only for track use. Hakuna kutumia kwa barabara. So za Kenya wanaharibu inakuwa kelele tupu.
