Tanzania Bus Owners Association Supports Terminal Directive but Calls for Improvements

TLDR

• A significant number of buses have shifted to the Magufuli Bus Terminal in Mbezi following a government directive.
• The directive aimed to clear congestion at Shekilango along Morogoro Road, which was previously crowded with buses.
• Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Albert Chalamila issued the directive last week, giving operators six days to relocate by August 17.
• The government has invested billions in the construction of the modern terminal, which has the capacity to handle more buses.
• Plans are underway to construct additional satellite terminals in Temeke and Bunju to further improve transport services.
