At the Accra Road stage, a public service vehicles terminal for Embakasi, Nairobi, multi-coloured matatus hoot loudly as touts woo passengers.

On the opposite side of the stage, there are parked quiet minibuses whose exterior only carry the sacco’s name, also plying the same route for lower fares. But it is on the side of the loud matatus that most passengers stand, deciding which one to board to their destination.
