SHORT THREAD...
ILLESST MATATU/PSV CULTURE
We know that we're on a league of our own when it comes to Matatu/PSV culture. We're protected by cartels & HOS so we go HAM
But we're not alone. There're countries that also go HAM.
Here are 6 of the best.
6.INDIA
India is a really populous country. They're also mainly Hindu & have many gods.
The Indians believe that road safety is up to the gods and nothing more. As such their vehicles are more temples and less safety.
And so their mobile temples are gorgeous
5. GUATEMALA CHICKEN BUS
The Guatemala are a colourful people, they're just as beautiful and vibrant as the Samburu of Kenya.
As such they show their love for colour in their clothes, possessions and buses. This is evident in how well they colour their PSV'S
4. PAKISTAN
The Pakistani & India are lifelong enemies. As such they're always trying to outdo each other on matters war, military, women & weirdly... Colour.
The Pakistani outdo India and are always going extra to stamp that fact
3. JAPANESE BOSOZUKU
The Japanese are a crazy people, they have 2 slots on this countdown. They abide by not abiding.
One of their cultures is the Bosozuku. These are highly modified, least working PSV's. They are a testament to excess and complete indifference to what's normal
2. KENYA MATATU
I'll be honest, no country in Africa can match our lowest Matatu. We run Africa and we call the Shots.
We are the Bazuu's of PSV transport in Africa. No country can even do 20% of Kenya. We are the SI Unit in the 3rd world.
Be very very proud my countrymen.
1. DEKOTORA OF JAPAN
I'm sure we all watched the Sean Paul music video with trucks emitting flames
These are the Dekotora trucks of Japan. No expenses spared and nothing too lavish.
These loved trucks have owners competing to outshine the next
They take the crown in my books
