"The 14 seaters will still operate but only long distance" "I think the old matatus will be sold taken upcountry for use until they are completely unroadworthy" I think that even if half of the Matatus will be switching to other routes there will be plenty left at throw away prices. It's not like there all of a sudden will be a huge demand for long distance transport. "This is not the first tym the govt has issued such ideas, there was a similar order for nissans in 2007 with a deadline for march 2008 but we all know what happened" "IF the Nissan Matatus will be banned January 2011" ...

The 14 seaters will still operate but only long distance We will see a flurry of luxury vans plying the long distances to Nakuru, Kisumu, Mombasa. The victim is actually going to be big buses facing stiff competition The CBD will decongest as it were I do hope the council has plans for periphery parking in the outskirts of the city.

Is this ban only affecting matatus plying the City routes or does it apply to the entire matatu industry? I like Jonas ideas! :-)

The market will be flooded with cheap Nissan Matatus in various conditions so prices for the old Matatus will be very low.
Set up a garage specialised in turning old Matatus into:
- One Bedroom Safari Vehicles - Spacious four seaters - Fundi vehicle - Regular family cars with great storage
... the opportunities are endless with the expected price drop
