Transforming Cities Through Sustainable Transport: The Example of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Commuting across Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, could take several hours, due to chronic traffic congestion and limited mass transit options. To keep the city moving, the World Bank supported the creation of the Dar es Salaam Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT), which provides quality #PublicTransport using dedicated bus lanes, accessible stations, and a modern vehicle fleet. A few years after the first phase opened, the benefits of the BRT are evident, from shorter and more affordable journeys to better job access and lower emissions. Learn more: wrld.bg/yLQL50P...
