1. How are matatu drivers treated in his experience with the BBC?
They were treated badly, especially by the people in authority in their community as the police. The police were officers very rude and the only thing they wanted was money; bribery is the only alternative matatu drivers have to not be taken to jail.
2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the Kenyans have of matatu drivers?
In my opinion people in Barranquilla have a bad perception of the people who are mototaxistas. To get started in Barranquilla, people think they are "lazy" so they have an easy job that is mototaxismo.
Second, many people think they are robbers, bad people, they have no manners.
Finally,mototaxistas break a lot of traffic rules.
