1. How are matatu drivers treated in his experience with the BBC?

R/= Matatu drivers are considered "the black sheep of Kenya". Criminals, dangerous people who break rules and laws. While doing their job they are always in risk of being arrested for breaking the traffic rules. Due to sterotypes like these, Matatu drivers are treated really bad. Police is always asking them  for money to let them do their job for a while and do not take them to prison. 

As we could read in the Blog, the experience with the BBC was not the exception. They were blame of jumping the traffic light but they really did not. By the way, they ended up at the parking yard at Central police station. After that, we can see the injustice Matatu drivers have to deal with. 

2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the Kenyans have of matatu drivers?
R/= We have a similar opinion about the mototaxistas, but I think that the Barranquillero´s opinion is more radical than the Kenyans. Here in Barranquilla when people see a person on a motorbike close to them , inmediately think that they are about to be stolen, or murdered because we see in the media that the majority of the crimes are commited on a motorbike, or they use motorbike for a fast murder and then they escape on the motorbike. Also for kidnapping are used the motorbikes. So the stereoype abou the mototaxistas is really negative.
