Latra introduces new ‘daladala’ routes to curb unregulated rickshaw use


Dar es Salaam. In a move aimed at streamlining urban transport and curbing the unregulated use of three-wheelers, the Land Transport Regulatory Authority (Latra) has introduced six new ‘daladala’ routes and invited operators to apply for licences to run commuter buses on them.

The initiative, which requires a total of 120 minibuses, is expected to ease congestion and offer reliable public transport alternatives in areas where many commuters currently rely on three-wheelers (Bajajis).
