This is very approximate - but you'll get the idea: A car, carrying average 2 people, with a ground area of 8 square metres, needs 4 sq m per person A nissan matatu, carrying 14, area 10 sq m, only uses 0.7 sq m per person So - matatus are about 6 times more efficient at moving people than cars. Happy New Year to all :) Tony 2010/1/5 Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com>:
Or how incorrect those who blame matatus are

A better question would be why are the traffic jams worse without any matatus on the road -- despite everyone blaming them for traffic jams ? _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
