    "content": "In Nairobi, we have a confused matatu system. It is not organised and is run by cartels. Controlling and regulating fares to different parts of the country should be secondary. The primary issue here is organising our transport system to ensure that we have proper designated stages and proper buses in good working conditions. We appreciate what the Government did in the past through the famous Michuki rules, seat belts, railway lines and speed governors but all these are focused on the hardware, namely, the vehicle. The rules focus on the uniforms of drivers and conductors, but the actual delivery service in the matatu industry has not been focused on. The amount you pay, for example, from Lang’ata to the CBD, is determined by time. In the morning, midday and in the evening, the fares are different. When it rains and when there is sunshine or wind, you pay differently. It should be predictable. In China, Europe and America, you know exactly how much you are going to pay. You can actually decide to pay for your fare for the whole month and only carry a chip or card and use it every day for the whole month."
