(250719) -- NAIROBI, July 19, 2025 (Xinhua) -- A matatu driver steers a vehicle on the route from Nairobi downtown to Ngong town in Kenya, on July 18, 2025.
Popularly known as "matatus," the privately owned minibuses are the main means of public transport plying various routes in this East Africa country.
Matatus are famous for their bold graffiti, vibrant music, and artistic designs. The energetic vibe they bring reflects the urban culture and hustle of the city.
The word "matatu" is a Swahili word meaning "three" which originated from the three pennies passengers used to pay when the industry began in the 1970s. (Xinhua/Wang Guansen)
