kenyan matatu industry on the spot 1996

The Matatu culture in Kenya during the 1990s was a vibrant and dynamic aspect of the country's urban life. Matatus are minibus or van-like public transportation vehicles that have become an iconic part of Kenyan urban culture.
The Matatu industry faced challenges related to safety, traffic violations, and sometimes operating without proper licenses. This led to various attempts by the government to regulate the industry, but it continued to operate with its unique flair.

I used to see slot of these matatus when I was a child and I also loved old stagecoach buses leyrands and DAFFS they were beautiful body works, beautiful colour paintings, automatic gearboxes and some other buses were double deckers.

[@EvansRutto-kd8fw]

funny how 30 years down the line nothing has changed.. infact the matatus just increased in number, became louder and the touts became more arrogant, they were then joined by bodaboda guys who invaded all the cities and towns . The government never did any major development in the transport sector.

[@Vintagejunkyz]

oh and the Tuktuks too will invade the counties in no time as well

[@ngangajeremiah9912]

Ninties matatu hazikua zinajaa.

[@blakyut1956]

90s matatu aerodynamic shapes were better than the boxy type today which are celebrated yet they look like jua kali made suitcases

[@pishyp]

Today they're heavy which contributes to heavy consumption of fuel they add more drag

[@windoak2113]

great footage but this is like the only good video of kenya in the 90s, wtf? Everthing else is from the 80s and sixties.

[@onepanorama]

Hello @VintageJunkyz can I use this footage in my future video where I compare 90's matatu culture to the 2020's Ma3 culture?
