In Kenya's transport industry, there are vehicles that come and go.

Then there is the Toyota HiAce.

Whether you're travelling to the airport, heading to a conference, transporting staff, running a tour company, or operating a school shuttle service, chances are you've ridden in a HiAce.

Two became five.

Five became an entire fleet.
