Our service complements existing transport options, so we can all work together to reduce traffic congestion and the environmental impact of transport in the city.”

Dar es Salaam is a vibrant, thriving city with a growing youthful labour force that is ready to welcome and support our service. Together, in partnership with the current transport system in Dar es Salaam, we will shape the future of urban travel to benefit passengers, drivers and the environment.
