Super Metro bus to hire hostesses

In the wake of unemployment in Kenya, youth have resulted in doing odd jobs to bring something to the table at the end of the day.

The Super Metro bus management on Tuesday 14 January took netizens by a storm after stating that they are looking for hostesses to hire.

In a letter posted on their official Facebook page, Super Metro called out ladies to apply for the position.

Some of the responsibilities the hostesses will have include greeting customers as they board matatus, assign customers where to seat and respond to calls.

The requirements include having a diploma in public relations, should be between the ages of 22 to 27, computer literate, among others.

All the ladies interested in the position are to drop their hard copy CV at the Super Metro office in Nairobi before 31 January 2020.


The move by Super Metro to hire hostesses was well received by Kenyans online; however, some complained that the job is only offered to ladies.

Others asked the management to first fix how they deal with customers, especially when it came to the loud music played while in transit. Do you think Super Metro should leave the job open for both men and women?
