"Public transit around the world" (meaningful quote)

Baltimore Sun 8/10/08

"Kenya's capital is choking on gridlock"

"Minibuses, "matatus", the main form of public transportation in Nairobi are notorious for their driver's disregard of the law. They regularly careen down the wrong side of the street to overtake cars idling in traffic, zip through red lights and screech to a stop-often in the middle of the road-to let passengers on and off. Fatal crashes are common."

(Need I say more?!")
