Dar es Salaam. The new leadership at Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit (Dart) and Usafiri Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit (Udart) faces one of the toughest assignments in public service: restoring confidence in the city’s long-troubled bus rapid transit (BRT) system. Launched in 2016 with high expectations, the BRT was supposed to reduce congestion and transform commuting in Dar es Salaam. For instance, what became of the nearly 200 buses originally introduced by UDA Rapid Transit nearly a decade ago? Whether the new bosses can finally turn around Dar es Salaam’s flagship transport project remains to be seen.
