Comedian Timothy Kimani, popularly known as Njugush, and his wife Celestine Ndinda have made yet another strategic business move by expanding their matatu ownership.
The celebrity couple has purchased a new matatu and named it after their second son, Toria.
This latest investment comes after their successful venture into the transport industry in April 2024, when they introduced their first matatu named Tugi, after their firstborn son.
The couple’s decision to name their matatus after their children adds a sentimental touch to their entrepreneurial journey.
Both matatus operate under the renowned Super Metro Sacco, plying the Nairobi-Kitengela route.
Super Metro is well known for its top-tier service, strict discipline, and adherence to road safety regulations, making it a favorable choice for many investors in the transport sector.

Why Kenyans prefer Super Metro Sacco
Super Metro has emerged as a pacesetter in the matatu sector owing to its extensive fleet that operates along major routes to and from the Nairobi CBD.
Kenyans noticed that customers prefer to queue and wait for Super Metro buses, even when there are other buses headed the same route.
Many customers commuting to and from the CBD say Super Metro buses have exceptional customer care, which increases customer confidence.
