Njia

Ask what a matatu ride costs and you get three answers, all of them confident. Fares move with rain, with fuel, with the hour, and with whether the conductor thinks you are from around here.

Njia is the boring answer to that: the route, the stages, and what people actually paid this week. The whole reference is on the phone before you leave the house, because the moment you need it most is the moment you have no signal and no airtime.

• Entire route set stored on the device
• No account, no signup, no signal needed
• Fares from riders, not from a press release
