In its longstanding plan to solve the perennial problem of traffic congestion, the city of Dar es Salaam has finally introduced a modern city bus service.
The service, to be launched soon, is a joint venture between the longest-surviving public transportation company Usafiri Dar es Salaam (UDA) and the Dar Rapid Transit Company (Dart), which has procured a fleet of 138 buses with a seating capacity of between 140 and 150 passengers each.
