3 1. Background of Public Transportation in Dar es Salaam
Background of Dar es Salaam City o One of the fastest growing cities in the world. Average annual growth from 2002 to 2012 was 7.7%. City’s population is currently estimated to be o 5.8 million (Above 10% of national population). Expected to reach 10 million and become a Mega City by 2030. o Dar es Salaam metropolitan area covers a large part of the city with a total area of 1,391 square kilometres and a population density of 3,133 per square kilometre. o Economic growth in Dar es Salaam is estimated at 10% per annum, above the country average. o Average Annual Vehicular Growth is around 19% per annum (2002-2015).
Background: The history of PT in DSM 5 ❑ Public Transport in Dar es Salaam is dated back in 1949 with Dar es Salaam Motor Transport Company (DMT). ❑ DMT nationalized and UDA established in 1967. ❑ Private sector involved from 1983. ❑ Urban PT Challenges: • Poor roads and Insufficient infrastructure • Air quality and health issues. • Low capacity buses and no schedule services • Congestion
Urban Mobility in Dar es Salaam City o Model Shares ₋ Urban mobility is shared by public transport (daladala, bodaboda, bajaji), private vehicles, non- motorized trips (cycling, walking) and others (commuter rail etc.) ₋ Higher dependence on Public Transport 6
Generally; Public transport service provided by 9,000 Daladalas most of them with Huge GHG emissions
Dar es Salaam Daladala Network Daladala routes follow spine roads, aggravate congestion condition Morogoro rd
Transforming the PT in DSM- Options considered Light Rail Transit Bus Rapid Transit $5-15 M/KM √ $12-25 M/KM Underground metro Urban rail $80-175 M/KM
Newer buses: Cleaner, efficient and reliable service carrying 200,000 passengers a day long DART Phase 1 with “Less Emission”
2. BRT System in Dar es Salaam (DART)
Physically Separated, Median stations with passing lanes at Stations and good pedestrian access, Station Floor Level with Bus Floor, Off-board Fare Collection
Wider walkways and Cycling
DART System - Integration o Integration of infrastructure; An integrated service plan for Phase 1, 2 & 3, - all converges to Gerezani Terminal Phase 1, 4 & 5, all converges to Ubungo - Terminal o Transport & Land use; Magomeni o Modes; BRT, Ferry & Daladala at Kivukoni, SGR (rail), JNIA (airport) o Service & Fare integration; trunk & feeder system o Transport modes integration o Physical Infrastructure Integration between different BRT corridors
3. Soot - Free DART Buses
DART Buses Phase 1 - Emission Characteristics Improved, Clean & Affordable Bus Technology o Current - Euro III Diesel Engine o Future - Euro IV to VI, CNG, Electric o Introduction of E-bajaji through Solution Plus project 18 m Articulated Bus 12 m Complementary Rigid Bus 12 m Feeder Bus
DART Engagement with UNEP In 2009, DART Agency partnered the UN Environment on the Media Campaign aimed at emphasizing low sulphur levels in fuels to address In 2020, UNEP is supporting air pollution challenges. Since then, there has been develop DART Agency to great achievement on transformation of the quality guidelines, specifications of petroleum fuel imported in Tanzania in terms of 2000 ’s and roadmap for sulphur content. In years, the sulphur implementation of Soot-free content was about 2,500 particles per million Buses on DART system. (ppm). Under this engagement, the resolution was to reduce sulphur content to 500 ppm. As of now, Furthermore, it will involve the sulphur content is below 50ppm. commitment to procuring cleaner buses with the soot- free technology to be In 2015, DART Agency partnered the UN adopted; either CNG, electric Environment on emphasizing cleaner vehicle or clean diesel (Euro IV, V or technologies/standards including Compressed VI) technology Natural Gas (CNG) and Electricity that reduce air pollution to create healthy cities.
4. DART Next steps
DART Next Steps o To provide full service for DART Phase 1 - Procurement of Service Providers is on going. Additional buses to be provided and feeder routes increased from 2 to 11 - Total of 305 buses - EURO IV Bus Technology adopted for additional buses o Implementation of phase 2 to 6 - Infrastructure construction for Phase 2 commenced on May 2019 - With all 6 Phases Operational, Buses will be 3,000+
DART Next Steps The BRT conceptual design, BRT demand and preparation of service plan for the entire BRT network Updated. Scenario 2030 morning peak hour demand Scenario 2025 morning peak hour demand
Scenario 2030: The Future BRT Network Cover the Whole Area Served by Public Transport with Trunk and Feeder Routes Scenario 2030 (full BRT network) • Trunk : Phases 1-6 + Extension of Phases 1 and 2 corridors (up to Kibamba and Vikindu, respectively) • Feeder : Full Feeder network serviced by DART Feeders • The BRT fleet - 1,380 articulated buses and 2,050 feeder buses. A total of 3,430 BRT buses. • 245,000 passengers during the weekday peak-hour Trunk Feeder • 2.4 million pax/weekday
5. Conclusion • By replacing a considerable number of daladalas and improve traffic conditions it is expected that the DART project will improve air condition by reducing of green gas emission and global warming. • Improve air quality by displacing polluting vehicles, reducing private vehicle use and lowering vehicles idle time. • Modern bus fleet preferably with low emission technology according to international standards makes the system “Environmentally Friendly” .
