A few days ago, I wrote about Itasha, a recent trend of the car to the Japan where fans of cover their car with the characters of logos anime and video games and Japanese comic strip.

In the comments section, Nairobi Vic wrote: "Kenya has a culture custom public transport vehicles"matatus"based on current events, interpreted by the local artist."Check out "" nairobi matatus' on youtube to get the image or video '. "

This is what I've done YH ' started with the video above (which does really kick in until the mark 24 seconds) and then found this video by Rocketboom a few years ago, which covers the matatus in detail:

Matatus are vans public transport, most of them size Shuttle airport .According report allAfrica.com, "" Matatu protection association believes there are 15,000 matatus on approximately 50 routes in Nairobi and approximately 80 percent of them - 12,000 - are ubiquitous places 14.""

But it seems that matatus and their owners and drivers get fin.Le report said allAfrica.com 14-vans are reduced get progressively for the largest vehicle which can carry 25 passengers or more.
