::: Engineering a Mass Transit App for a City Without Mass Transit

In Nairobi, private car ownership isn’t the norm: the bulk of its citizens rely on public transit. But when Nairobi’s formal bus system collapsed in the 1990s, the government failed to do anything about it.

The result was a crazy, lawless, and über-popular mode of transportation: the Kenyan Matatu.
