In Kisumu City, a lot of newcomers tend to waste a lot of time and resources just trying to identify their destination.
Many bodaboda operators and touts exploit newcomers in the City due to their lack of knowledge of Kenya's third-biggest City.

These matatus operate from early morning to late in the night on this route and will only charge you at least kshs 20 to take you at your destination.
They usually have a small board drawn number 9 placed on the matatus windscreen.
