A Matatu is....

Haa.. A Matatu.. Sounded like mat. tat. tu. Put it altogether and you have matatu. :) Ok well it's a van that has about 13-15 rickety seats in it that are welded in. Seat belts are a joke. They have a sliding door that you would think is going to fall all. But it doesen't! There's a conductor of sorts that is always opening the door, hanging out the window calling people, collecting your money. They always wear a red vest/jacket. I'm going to get a picture before it's all over. And they try to pack as many people possible into a matatu. Defninitly not enough leg room. A mixture of exaust and body odor. I had to laugh the other day. The driver had the radio on and the tunes cranked. Good 'ole North American music. So yes these matatu's are suppose to have speed governors but i think they take those out cause we are just a crusin'. I don't mind taking a matatu but since i'm white they like to charge more. But i know how much i should be paying so we will see what happens next time. Cheers!
