Mood began making waves while still in the garage due to its cutting-edge features.

What unique features does the Mood matatu have?

Not only is it the first matatu in Kenya to include solar panels, but it also boasts a massive KSh 2 million sound system, a DJ deck, and a custom-designed interior meant for both comfort and entertainment.

With 65-inch TVs, bucket seats, and a 25-seater layout instead of the usual 32-seater, Mood creates a space that's more about experience than just transportation.

The unique design also includes an aisle with three seats instead of four, leaving more room for passengers to dance. And with a dedicated space for drinks and a custom license plate, Mood was built to stand out.

George also invested in a costly sound system, including top-of-the-line speakers, and all these elements could set a new trend for Kenya’s matatu culture.

After several postponements, Mood is set to launch on Friday, July 18, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, starting from 6 pm.

Information from the Raptor Family, the name under which George’s matatus operate, indicated that there would be two DJs to entertain fans, and entry is free.

Did George Ruto pray for the Mood matatu?

A video from the garage shows George with some of the crew members, alongside a preacher.

George and another man jointly held the matatu’s keys as the preacher prayed.

The first son appeared to be in fervent prayer as he closed his eyes.

In other news, a matatu plying the Ngong Road route made headlines by installing Starlink internet, offering passengers speeds of up to 200 Mbps.

The green PSV, named Phenomenal, features flashy off-cut rims, LED lighting, and a booming sound system.

The satellite receiver sits on the roof, making it one of the most high-tech public vehicles in Nairobi.
