matThis week a video of a woman assaulting a matatu conductor went viral. It is a situation most of us have found ourselves in, where the fare announced at the stage is below what is demanded on the road.
The story has brought to light other injustices committed by matatu crews on passengers.
Here are 7 unforgiving responses given by Matatu conductors.

2. Passenger: Kuna kiti?
Conductor: Hao wengine wamekalia ndoo?

4. Passenger: Bwana hii gari ina joto sana!
Conductor: Basi shuka upande fridge.
5. Conductor: Madam, kuna seats pale nyuma.
Passenger: Siwezi kaa seats za nyuma. Nataka ya mbele.
Conductor: Kwani za nyuma ziko nje ya gari? Basi wacha dereva ashuke ukae mbele.
