Brawl Out: New Ongata Rongai Matatu Brings CBD To Standstill As It's Delivered On Trailer

• New Kenyan matatus are typically accorded a rapturous welcome during their debut in Nairobi's CBD
• A new Ongata Rongai matatu stole the show after its unique presentation to the public
• While most matatus are driven, Brawl Out was ferried on the back of a flatbed truck

New souped-up passenger service vehicles (PSVs) commonly make a show on their debut in Nairobi.

Is Brawl Out Rongai's hottest matatu?

The unveiling usually occurs at night and involves the matatu blaring horns while showing off the bespoke lights. A group of young men with whistles complete the ceremonies as they parade the new vehicle through city streets.

However, a new Ongata Rongai matatu has set the bar high.

Brawl Out features a predominantly yellow theme, and the graffiti lives up to its name. The sides feature numerous airbrushed photos of people fighting.

The back has a picture of Mixed Martial Arts fighter Israel Adesanya, considered one of the best fighters in his weight class.

Instead of driving the matatu into town, it was loaded onto a trailer and driven to Tom Mboya Street.

The young men brought things to a standstill as they wildly celebrated the new matatu while city residents stared in wonderment.

Netizens reacted by saying:

“Matatu investors do crazy things

Is Embakasi's Neo Kenya's hottest matatu?

In other news, the Matrix movie served as inspiration for Neo, a new matatu plying the Embakasi route.

The green and black vehicle owner spent good money on acquiring parts from other vehicles, including KSh 80,000 Mercedes Actross side mirrors.

The investor did not spare any expenses in the interior, with some questioning how they would recoup the money spent.
