[kictanet] How to fix public transport

[Phares Kariuki]

From personal experience:

Two years ago, I was using public transport. Until I was 'hijacked'. Never used it since. Public transport needs to be *secure*.

Our long haul transport is a mess, with people using lorry chasis to make unstable buses that are poorly driven and keep rolling. Citi Hoppa's are so unstable and badly driven that they overturn within city bounds. 
Public transport in Kenya is a joke. The matatu is a janus faced symbol. A symbol of our culture and a symbol of our failure. They epitomise everything wrong with our society.
