Kenyatta Uni freshers, how are you finding the Matatu stages? So conf Haha! I totally get you 😩. As a former first-year at Kenyatta University, I remember how confusing the Matatu stages were — especially coming from home or heading to town. It felt like a maze. In my first few weeks, I’d end up at the wrong stage or enter a Matatu that wasn't even heading my way. I once boarded a Githurai 45 thinking it was going to town, only to find myself deep in Githurai Market confused and panicking. I even had to call an older student to come help me navigate back to school 😂. But with time, I figured it out. Here’s what helped: Know the Main Stages Around KU Gate A (Main Gate): This is where most town-bound matatus (like route 45 to CBD) pass. KM (Kahawa Market): A little walk from KU, this place has many options — cheaper too. You’ll find matatus to Nairobi CBD, Thika, and Ruiru. Ruiru Stage: If you're going past KU towards Ruiru, this is where you pick those ones. Also near KM.
