Dar es Salaam bus rapid transit is a bus rapid transit system currently under construction in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.[1] Construction began in April 2012.[2] The Austrian construction company Strabag International GmbH has been awarded to realize the €134 million project. The first phase of the project will have a length of 21 kilometers on three trunk routes with a total of 29 stations. 10 feeder routes will provide connection to residential areas.[3] A total of 148 buses with a capacity of 40 passengers each will be deployed.[4]

Interim Operations

On 24 April 2015 the Dar Rapid Transit Agency (DART) signed a contract with UDA-RT for the provision of Interim services of the Dar es salaam Rapid Transit system. UDA-RT is a special purpose company formed by UDA and the two Daladala Associations Dar es Salaam Commuter Bus Owners Association (DARCOBOA) and UWADAR for the provision of interim services. The interim services are to provide training to future operators and build up local capacity. The Interim services are set to provide approximately 130,000 long distance commuters service between Kimara and Kivukoni, and Mbezi and Kivukoni. The private dala-dalas will still be operational on these routes and the interim services plans to replace 250 buses.[5] DART still holds the mandate to control operations and UDA-RT is the service provider that will merge with DART in the future.[6] The proposed start of service in January 2016 was delayed amid protests over higher fares than expected.
