Dodoma. Tanzania is set to become the first country in East Africa to introduce a full-fledged urban rail system, according to the newly launched 2025–2030 election manifesto of the ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
The ambitious proposal, which includes metro rail lines in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, headlines an expansive infrastructure development plan that also seeks to accelerate Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) projects and address urban traffic congestion across the country.
