Last year, a mathree crew whose mat operates under Mwamba Sacco were the talk of town after they saved a woman from being undressed by an angry mob. They became heroes and were nicknamed the ‘men with good hearts’.
Of course, the good act earned them brownie points as they won the hearts of many commuters.
Recently, the mathree, which plies the city centre and Komarock route unleashed a show-stopping nganya.
Named D12 after popular American rapper Eminen’s band, the matatu that hit the road on 30th October is ruling the roads in style.
The interior is unparalleled and speaks of class and elegance.
D12 has a small screen and speakers attached on every seat and so passengers can enjoy watching music videos.
Speaking to Mat3 Culture, Kevin Serenje, one of the crew said: “Our mat is different. This is what passengers have been yearning for. We offer exclusive services.”
He added that, “Our fares will remain at Sh80 despite stiff competition. Some mats charge as low as Sh30, but what we offer is the best for those who understand unganya.
Also known as real chairman, D12 boats of a glass floor with rotating colours.
It has four woofers, 16 mid-range speakers and CCTV cameras.
