   From the letters page on Kenya’s Daily Nation:

   Save us from this Matatu madness
   Matatus plying some Nairobi routes are subjecting us to brutality and discomfort. Overloading has become the order of the day, even before the “watchful eye” of the traffic policemen. Safety measures of fitting the matatus with seat belts have been neglected. Speeding is rampant and matatu drivers do not bother to observe traffic lights. Loud music dominates and you can hardly communicate. Most of them have big screens, which mostly play dirty music. If you humbly ask the conductor or the driver to reduce the volume, the response is harsh and abusive language. All this is caused by a reluctance of the traffic police to work. Can the traffic commandant involved come in and save us from this matatu madness?

   great article, it almost reconciled me with Beirut services and “habibi music”.
   My least favorite remain Milan cabs, Ramazzotti is much worst than Tupac or Habibi music and I’d rather die in a car accident in Nairobi or Beirut than engage on a conversation about Berlusconi with a taxi driver form Milan.
