Can we talk about the MeruโKianjaiโMaua matatus? ๐๐ญ
First of all, these matatus have one special talent: they never get full.
I repeat... they never get full.!!
You can look inside and see people seated, others squeezed, with sambazas at the middle, na watu wengine wamebendover Kwa mlango trying to create space that doesn't even exist ... but the conductor is still outside shouting:
"Maua! Maua! Kianjai! One more! Kuna nafasi!" ๐and you wonder kwani yeye mwenyewe atakaa wapi amaatatufuata nyuma na nduthi๐๐๐ซด๐ค
At this point I genuinely want to know: how many people was that Nissan matatu designed to carry? Because sometimes passengers are arranged like sacks of potatoes. ๐ญ
And then comes the speeding.
These drivers drive as if they are participating in the Meru Formula One Championship. One matatu overtakes another, the driver is fully focused, and then you hear:
Aty, "sitaki ifike Kianjai mbele yetu!"๐๐
Excuse me, sir... are there passengers waiting ahead with your names written on them? How are you so sure they are there? ๐๐ญ
The competition on that route is on another level. Every vehicle wants to be first, yet the passengers are just seated there praying and holding onto their seats for dear life. ๐
But on a serious note, this is a humble call to matatu drivers and makangas on the MeruโKianjaiโMaua route: please avoid overloading and unnecessary competition on the road. Safety should always come first because every passenger wants to arrive home safely.
Abiria si viazi za kupangwa kwa gari, jameni. Tuache tamaa kidogo. ๐๐nkt!!
