TRC mulls increasing SGR trips to meet surge in passenger demand

Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) is preparing to increase the number of daily Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passenger trips between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma following a sharp rise in demand for the modern rail service.

TRC Director General Machibya Masanja told The Citizen that passenger demand along the SGR corridor has outstripped the current number of scheduled trips, prompting the corporation to plan an expansion of services on the country’s busiest rail route.
