Bus operators struggle as SGR drains passengers

Dar es Salaam. Bus owners are grounding their buses as they seek new routes after the new electric-powered train – which currently plies between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma - disrupted the business.

The business situation has been so tense that the Land Transport Regulatory Authority (Latra) is planning a meeting with members of the Tanzania Bus Owners Association (Taboa) to come up with new routes that could potentially be of help to passenger buses.
