Public Transportation in Nairobi, Kenya

Busses in Nairobi are called Matatus. They are painted bight colors and are loud.

70% of the population use them for transportation. They are cheap and convenient, but like everything else in Nairobi, they are chaotic.

The name comes from Swahili meaning three. It is unclear as to three what, but it is commonly  believed it refers to a coin worth about ten cents which would equate to 30 cents per ride.
