Meet the ghost passengers of Embakasi... These are industrious men and women of this country who clad themselves in smart suits each morning and head to the city center. Their sole purpose in life is to create the illusion that the matatu is almost full especially during off peak hours. the squad of about eight usually sits patiently in the matatu while the engine is running. You will board the vehicle thinking that your journey is about to begin. Woo unto you; afterr about two minutes, one of the ghost passengers will alight... the drill continues until the eight Kenyans who had no intentions of going to Embakasi are replaced by eight other innocent travellers like you! By then you would have wasted about an hour of your life in which two buses that you were tempted to board have already left the stage.
And the drivers are not any better. They keep raving the engine while moving the loud matatu back and forth... each time you hope they are about to go. And God help the touts who are always shouting for a whole hour "NAFASI YA WAWILI! NAFASI YA WAWILI!" passengers
