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.
