@ongera, i disagree, - 4 of my neighbours have cars (nissan van, mitsubishi double-cab, suzuki vitara, toyota g-touring) - they have lived together (as neighbours) for minimum 3 years, spend lots of weekends together, so they must know each other pretty well - yet each day, the four vehicles will be stuck in jams - (nissan: 1 pax (dere pekee), mits dcab: 2 pax, suzuki: 1 pax, toyota: 2 pax). sad FACT: they all work in the CBD. - the disinterest in carpools has more to do with status (or its dilution) than (lack of) trust or any other silly excuse. ~ imo ~ On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Clement Ongera <cnongera@gmail.com> wrote:
@ Saidi, Consider this "You text for a plumber in Umoja to a number, you get a list of persons near/and or in Umoja who are plumbers. How will you verify that they are what they say they are ?"
Carpools are a bit complicated in Kenya Especially when you don't know your neighbour at all. How can you know whether you are being carried by a thug and/or carrying a thug?
A carpool app, can help ease traffic jams in Kenya, only that you just don't know whom to trust. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
