The Dar Rapid Transit Agency (DART), operating the massive UDA-RT bus network, is a revolutionary state-owned entity that has completely transformed public transportation in Dar es Salaam. Established to combat the city’s notoriously paralyzing traffic congestion, DART operates one of the most successful and expansive Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems on the African continent. The system utilizes a fleet of hundreds of massive, high-capacity articulated blue buses running on exclusive, dedicated central lanes. This allows DART buses to bypass hours of gridlock, moving hundreds of thousands of commuters daily between the bustling residential suburbs (like Kimara and Mbezi) directly into the heart of the central business district (Posta) in absolute record time. DART is highly modernized, utilizing a fully digitized smart-card and QR-code ticketing system that has essentially eliminated cash handling on the network. The agency is currently undergoing massive infrastructural expansions, building new terminals and laying dedicated concrete lanes to encompass the entire metropolitan area, solidifying Dar es Salaam as a modern smart city.
