Dar es Salaam. The Dar Rapid Transit Agency (Dart) has awarded a 12-year contract to a local firm, Mofat Company Limited, to operate Phase II of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which runs from Gerezani to Mbagala. The firm is expected to introduce 255 gas-powered buses by August 2025.
The development comes as the government moves to hand over operations of both the first and second phases of the BRT system to the private sector, in a bid to enhance efficiency and address longstanding commuter grievances in Dar es Salaam.
