Latra Releases 150 Buses for Transport

The Land Transport Regulatory Authority (Latra) has approved 150 new commuter buses to ease public transport in Dar es Salaam, following election-related violence that damaged Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) infrastructure. The additional buses will supplement the existing 148 on the Morogoro Road route, increasing capacity to 298 vehicles. Each minibus seats 26 passengers. The move aims to restore passenger flow, reduce congestion, and maintain transport services while BRT repairs continue on affected corridors.
