navigating Mombasa\u2019s roads, even in a giant Land Cruiser, was such that survival was my only concern for some time.\u00a0 The surge of vehicles, each trying to gain advantage by any means, was in a different order of magnitude to traffic in any of the western\u00a0metropolis that I have navigated by car \u2013 London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Once accustomed to the pass-by-any-means-possible driving norms and lack of road signage, or definable road edges, I started to notice the multitudinous matatus \u2013 the largely unregulated fleet of Nisan minibuses that provide transport for millions of Kenyans every day.<\/p>\n<p>Savagely competitive for passengers, they have adopted garish branding to try and stand out from the crowd.\u00a0 At first I just noted down their names: Soul Brotherz\/Money Power, Respect Sir Alex, Parallel Mafia, Men Of God, Best Ever, Mighty Player, Van Persie (an unwittingly good pun, I suspect), Point Of No Return, Hit The Like Button, Handsome Boy, Addidas, Password, Mash Cool, Get Out More, Chelsea \u2013 The Bluez and The Lords Prayer. Then I started to photograph them.\u00a0 Those above were mostly taken on the Mombasa side of the Likoni ferry.<\/p>\n<p>Matatus will generally stop wherever they are flagged down, and charge by the kilometer \u2013 the price is Ksh 2 \u2013 7 per kilometer, so even the 300k journey from Nairobi to Kisumu might cost as little as Ksh 1,000 (\u00a37ish). In recent years, there has been something of a panic about their operation.\u00a0 Terrible accidents are commonplace.\u00a0 Successive waves of regulation have tried to limit the number of passengers they can carry, the speed at which they can travel, and required the fitting of seatbelts.<\/p>\n<p>While I was in Kenya, a ban on matatu\u2019s operating at night was introduced \u2013 to howls of protests, and even more clogged day-time streets. Nonetheless, they visually enliven the urban environment in a way that Britain\u2019s buses never have, and, for the moment at least, provide an enormously efficient means for millions of car-less Kenyans to travel to and from work each day.<\/p>\n<p>My friend, Jenny Vaughan adds:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #141823;\" data-reactid=\".1a2.1:3:1:$comment10152265488651882_32652231:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.0\"><span data-reactid=\".1a2.1:3:1:$comment10152265488651882_32652231:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.0.$end:0:$0:0\">Way back, matatus weren&#8217;t actual buses at all, but pick-up trucks with a cabin built over the back, so smaller than these.
