Obscene music and "disco" lights on Kenya's Matatus must go
Kenya's public service taxis - also known as Matatus are probably some of the most colourful, chaotic and best expression of the country's pop culture. They come in all colours, graffiti and with loud music, wireless Internet connection and small screens s that play the latest music videos. Many young Kenyans earn a living working in the industry either as touts, drivers or artistes. Now, the country's public transport regulator says the loud and obscene music and "disco" lights must go. On Monday, they begin a crackdown that will see the vehicles stick to the set public service vehicles operators' regulations. Will that destroy the popular "matatu culture?"
Sarah Kimani spent a day inside the matatu world and filed this report.

No, don't kill the Kenyan culture. There are alternative means of transport for those who don't like Matatus- like buses and trains or personal vehicles.
Those old people complaining can they choose some other boring matatu board than them refusing the fact that they are old and they dont have style wewe chili wa ati kusoma kwani huna nyumba????

This will make hundreds of young guys turn to crime due to lack of jobs how i wish those making the decisions can come to the grounds and interact with those matau operators but i guess they are too bossy to do so atleast one thing i like about our president he comes from a wealthy family but humbles himself and thats why he said and i quote "wachana na vijana wafanye kazi" lets be real and honest here who will feed them or is this just an interest of a few who see a threat from the growing industry
Moha Grafix kutoka Madiwa City noma sana!!
I love it why do you want to finish it
This is creativity and unemployed innovative about employment. Why penalise those who are creating employment? There is choice, if you don't like it, buy your own car or walk. I am a Ugandan,wish they are in Uganda. I will drive my car to Kenya and get fitted like those ones. Those authorities must spend their time looking for gun robbers

Why does this News headline sound like an ultimatum ? The Matatu Culture will not be going anywhere.
This is for the youth and if one is going to make the money transporting city youth you must see what they like for many youth they like nice looking things even certain food.
Only in Kenya :-)
hii culture ni chaguo yetu kimayut man hii culture ni ya huku mtaani kenya penda culture kama mkenya!! #uzalendo
Must go where ?
this is so stupid, this matatu culture is unique and is what makes africa unique and it shows our vibrancy, why are getting rid of it to be boring and trying to copy europe????

Then they become jobless let's not run from reality that they should be empowerd to employ even more of our youth and even the elderly

Loud music?! Who is complaining? Willing buyer willing seller! Nothing like this in the whole world.
Rubbish, go study in your house or dorm not in the Ma3. We love them, if you don't like the music, pass along and get the quiet ones. They are unique
