@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.

@ 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.
