This announcement came barely days after the sacco started plying the Nairobi CBD to Ngong route. On Wednesday, other matatus from Ngong held demonstrations and blocked roads over what they termed as Super Metro’s entry into the route. The matatus claimed that Super Metro was out to ruin their businesses.
Currently, Super Metro operate along the Kikuyu Route 105, Thika Road, Juja 236 and Makongeni 237. As the sacco expands to new routes, it has become a darling of many passengers due to its road discipline and fair prices.
In its latest call for workers, the sacco will be looking to hire drivers, conductors, and road marshals. Basic requirements for drivers are as follows:
1. 3 passport photos (colored)
2. A valid certificate of good conduct

Shunza Moana: I wish my route had super metro I would never use this other vehicles!! Super metro buses are neat with neat and very disciplined conductors unlike this other sons of I don’t know who, who literary even refuses to give you your balance and have the audacity to tell you you’re a lady and you shouldn’t ask for the balance. Nkttt
