    New mat 8yrs (Japan) 1.8m , duty 700k , seats, others accessories 120k, Sacco entrance 120-200k ( approximately) (2.7- 3m)
    Matatu what matters huwa ni DRIVER and TLB (route)
    Driver can uplift or finish you in a flash.
    Have an emergency fund.
    Get a trusted mech and know where parts are sourced (Kirinyaga road) always bargain.
    Have passion and keep track of expenses and income/revenue.
    Take control, responsibility and know almost every aspect of matatu.. you will win.

    Back in 2000 nilienda Dubai na pesa ambazo nilitoa UK nikanunua Nissan mbili .Moja nikauza 7k cash na ile ingine nikaweka viti nikatia kwa rd.route 145 .It did not take me long to realize I was on speed post speed to bankruptcy.I remember begging a gentleman who worked at high Court ainunue.Aliponipa pesa which was Peanuts for lack of a better term I boarded flight same day back to ughaibuni.Matatu is not a business that will ever cross my mind again., At least not in Kenya.

    This is an eye opener.I feel the policy our country has put in place are the ones that are making hard our matatu owners to thrive. That operation cist is too high.

      @@mianomuthii I have a question please answer if you can.
      You've mentioned about saccos and the fees that one pays monthly. What do you get in return from these saccos? Apart from the 3500 that they pay yearly, is there any other advantages of joining one? Do you think it's a scam?
      2ndly. I can understand why insurance is at a premium but the question is...if there's an accident and everyone dies in that van, do you think insurances do reimburse family members or do they only pay the matatu driver and all is done?
      Thanks in advance.
      Good content btw:)

      @mianomuthii  Рік тому +2

      @@mamayao4208 okay... First the sacco fees you pay some are used for operations and the monthly shares are savings that earn you dividends a year..most saccos py between 5 to 15 % interest with regards to the earnings and expenses of the saccos.
      This savings also gives you access to cheaper loans i.e 1% to 0.8% a month.
      Lastly the insurance is a third party and no car insurance in Kenya covers drivers. So it falls under third party insurance law's

    Thank you for explaining what most refuse to explain. Most people talk about the bigger buses, but at least you've explained the 14 seaters. Is there anywhere that the different county fees and sacco joining fees are documented online or you just have to ask people?
