Popular matatu sacco Super Metro has announced free rides for customers on Monday April 15 for its new bus.
In a post on social media, Super Metro said the new bus owned by comedian Timothy Kimani famously known as Njugush will carry customers for its first ride between the Kitengela-Nairobi route.
However, the sacco did not reveal the number of free rides the bus will offer to customers.
This will save customers between Ksh70 and Ksh120 depending on the time of the day the free rides will be available.
Njugush & Wakavinye New Super Metro Bus
Njugush and his wife Celestine Ndinda alias Wakavinye unveiled their new ride on Thursday April 11.
The couple announced that they have ventured into the Matatu business and named their bus ‘Tugi’ after their first son, Blessed Tugi.
Celestine had also shared a tour of their new bus on her YouTube channel. With Njugush as the bus driver and Celestine the conductor, the couple took their matatu for an inaugural ride.
The occasion was attended by Njugush and Celestine’s close friends from the industry including Abel Mutua and his wife, Comedian Butita, Phil Director among others who were present as the first passengers.
Njugush also announced free rides for customers using the route during the bus’s first day in the matatu industry.
“Tomorrow is the first official trip of this car, and we have to fuel. Shell will pay for the first trip,” he said.
The bus has been decorated on the inside with pictures of Njugush’s friends and close business associates.

Njugush’s friends took to social media to congratulate him for the achievement.
Script writer and comedian Eddie Butita was elevated by the decision by Njugush and Wakavinye to include his portrait in the bus.
“Hii move nayo imeninice mbaaaaaaya. Eeeeeish Mabeste zangu wamenichora kwa mathree. Abel Mutua usijali naongea na Njugush tuone kama tutaongeza picha yako kwa Kabat, Wakavinye ashakubali,” he said.
This loosely translates to “This move has amazed me; my friends have my portrait in their bus. Abel Mutua should not be worried I am talking to Njugush to see whether his photo can be added.”

Also, in a light tone, Mutua mentioned that the couple made a wrong decision to invest in a matatu.
“What a disappointment!!! I see nothing to write home about. Njugush and Wakavinye I wish mngeniconsult,” Abel Mutua said sarcastically amid laughter.
Njugush and his wife have been engaging in various business ventures together and the bus just adds to their list of businesses.
