A recent video showing a Super Metro matatu maneuvering on the wrong side of Thika Super Highway has ignited widespread outrage among Kenyan netizens, highlighting yet another alarming instance of reckless driving on the country’s roads.
Shared on Instagram by a local blog, the footage captures the matatu boldly navigating against oncoming traffic, blatantly violating traffic rules and endangering lives in the process.
The incident has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many expressing deep concern over the safety implications of such behavior. Speculation about the matatu’s motives ranges from potential emergencies on board to suggestions of the driver being under the influence.
Despite this recent controversy, Super Metro remains a preferred choice among commuters in the matatu sector. Known for their reliability and efficient service, the Sacco has steadily expanded its operations since its inception on the Kikuyu-Nairobi route in 2013, growing to serve major corridors of Nairobi CBD.
This incident underscores ongoing challenges in ensuring adherence to traffic regulations and promoting responsible driving practices across Kenya’s transportation network.
