Dar es Salaam. Mofat, the operator of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services along Kilwa Road, has recently called for the removal of minibuses (daladalas) from the route to increase demand. This situation highlights deeper structural and socio-economic issues in Mbagala that may create significant challenges for transport companies.
Experts have informed The Citizen that while Mofat's concerns are understandable, it is crucial to have a more nuanced understanding of Mbagala and its surrounding communities. This understanding is essential for policymakers aiming to design sustainable transport solutions that benefit all parties without discouraging major investors.
