HANDCART PUSHERS

As rain pounds in different parts of the country it always comes with a lot of blessings like good harvests.  Fresh produce from the farms will always find their way to the city and to city residents shopping baskets as they are very essential in our day to day life.   Handcarts in Nairobi are majorly used to transport fresh produce for traders around the city suburbs though they are also used for carrying other goods like bales of clothes, furniture, etc, to various destinations.

IT'S ALL ABOUT HISTORY AND HERITAGE

NAIROBI NATIONAL MUSEUM

Who would have thought that a place that was once used to preserve collections of various specimens by the East African Natural History Society could now be used as a place to interpret Kenya’s rich heritage.  It offers a one stop for visitors to sample the country’s rich heritage and history and there is no doubt that it is among the exciting places that we have in the country.

THE BODA BODAS

From Nairobi City through to the remote village you can always see a boda boda (motorcycle/bicycle) rider standing and waiting for customers at places.  The boda bodas have spread slowly but steadily from Ugandan-Kenyan border to other regions and boda boda organizations have been founded in many towns. The spread could be due to unemployment as the youth are venturing into other means of sustaining themselves and the boda boda business doesn’t need much funds to start.

WAKULIMA MARKET - Nairobi's Fresh Produce Market

Fresh produce market is a serious place of business.  More specifically, the term fresh produce often implies that the products are garden-fresh and generally in the same state as where they were harvested.  Vendors at the market offer a variety of farm produce immediately they get harvested from the farm. 

INTER-CITY BUSES

People have different reasons why they would prefer to travel by bus to neighboring countries and not through other means.   To some, it is considered as a low cost budget while some prefer using it to take advantage and admire the great scenery of our countries.

TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR - CCTV Cameras in Matatus

Technological evolution in the transport sector has been linked with the phrases of economic development of the world.  One of the pitfalls in discussing future trends resides at looking at the future as an extrapolation of the past.  A few years ago matatus (public service vehicles) with a screen playing music videos of different genres were seen as very trendy and fashionable and passengers always preferred to board them and be part of the movement.  As technology is constantly changing, public service vehicles have moved a notch higher from just having screens to being fitted with state of the art speakers, Wi-Fi servers and most recently CCTV(Closed Circuit Television) cameras and GPS (Global Positioning System) trackers.
