Boda Boda Bicycle Taxis, Kisumu, Kenya.

"Boda Boda bicycle taxis occupy a particular passenger niche market. This niche takes the form of relatively inexpensive and short 'for hire' service trips largely for accessing work activities [...] and off-road trips in high density unplanned settlements where higher capacity Matatu (minibuses) and Tuk Tuk vehicles cannot pass. Their small road space requirments and ability to pass slow-moving [...] enable them to operate efficiently and competitively in congested networks".
