Here are Nairobi routes with matatus as old as ‘Methuselah’

Ma3route Twitter followers have listed the Nairobi routes that have the oldest matatus.

The Twitter thread started after a user complained that Embassava buses are as old as Methuselah and need revamping. (Methuselah is the man reported to have lived for 969 years in the Bible)

Tweeps started adding onto the list of the oldest matatus in Nairobi, with some hilariously describing how some matatu doors even fall off mid-journey.

Some of the hoods that featured in the list included Kileleshwa, Nyayo Highrise, Kayole, Limuru Road, Mwiki and Eastleigh.

Here is the thread.
