Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian firm Mofat Company Limited, which has been contracted to operate part of the bus rapid transit (BRT) system, has begun a recruitment drive expected to create over 1,000 jobs as it prepares for the launch of Phase Two operations in September.

The second phase of the BRT project spans 20.3 kilometres from Kariakoo’s Gerezani area to Mbagala and was constructed at a cost of $159.32 million (about Sh285.1 billion) by China’s Sinohydro Construction Limited.
