Vans that ply Kathome-Machakos road, despite their small sizes, seem to have huge appetite for money.
These 'matatus' are actually smaller than the normal 14 seater matatu but they carry way more than 12 passengers!
Woe unto you if you are a man and, unfortunately, you land a 'non-existent' seat near the driver.
The driver, with blood-shot eyes, will instruct you to put your legs apart to allow him enough space to engage the gear head which will be sticking out between your thighs.
As if the heat from the engine roasting your buttocks is not punishment enough, the rogue driver will hit your balls, albeit accidentally, everytime he engages the gears.
By the time you will travel from Machakos town to Kathome, you will alight from the crowded van a castrated man!
