Graffiti designers paint matatus at the Choda fabricators garage in Nairobi, Kenya, 05 April 2018. The Matatu culture is very big in Kenya, the minibuses are decorated with colorful graffiti inside and outside and most of them are equipped with tv screens, high-speed internet, and power sockets. The word matatu is a Swahili term meaning “three”, coined in the 1970s to describe the then-new mode of transport when people used to pay three pennies to get from one point to another in the minibuses. But these buses, privately-owned taxis shared by multiple passengers, have evolved from being a mere mode of transport to a way of life, spreading from urban hubs to all corners of the East African nation.
