Kenya’s public transportation system is characterized by buses playing loud music. Efforts to regulate this practice have faced challenges despite existing laws and court rulings.

Noise Regulations and Court Orders

Laws prohibit excessive noise levels, and court judgments have mandated that public service vehicles refrain from using decorative lights. However, the culture surrounding matatus, a common form of public transport, appears to disregard these regulations.
