• 1. Background of Public

Transportation in Dar es Salaam

• 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

5.8 million (Above 10%

• f

national population). Expected to reach 10 million and become a Mega City by 2030.

• 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.

• Economic growth in Dar

es Salaam is estimated at 10% per annum, above the country average.

• Average Annual Vehicular Growth is around

19% per annum (2002-2015).

Background of Dar es Salaam City

Background: The history of PT in DSM

❑ 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

• 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

Generally; Public transport service provided by 9,000 Daladalas most of them with Huge GHG emissions

Morogoro rd

Daladala routes follow spine roads, aggravate congestion condition

Transforming the PT in DSM- Options considered

√

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

• 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

• Transport & Land use; Magomeni
• Modes; BRT, Ferry & Daladala at Kivukoni,

SGR (rail), JNIA (airport)

• Service & Fare integration; trunk & feeder

system

• Transport modes integration
• Physical Infrastructure Integration

between different BRT corridors

• 3. Soot - Free DART Buses

18 m Articulated Bus 12 m Complementary Rigid Bus 12 m Feeder Bus

DART Buses Phase 1 - Emission Characteristics

Improved, Clean & Affordable Bus Technology

• Current - Euro III Diesel Engine
• Future - Euro IV to VI, CNG, Electric
• Introduction of E-bajaji through Solution Plus project

DART Engagement with UNEP

In 2020, UNEP is supporting DART Agency to develop guidelines, specifications and roadmap for implementation of Soot-free Buses on DART system. Furthermore, it will involve commitment to procuring cleaner buses with the soot- free technology to be adopted; either CNG, electric

• r clean diesel (Euro IV, V or

VI) technology In 2009, DART Agency partnered the UN Environment on the Media Campaign aimed at emphasizing low sulphur levels in fuels to address air pollution challenges. Since then, there has been great achievement on transformation of the quality

• f petroleum fuel imported in Tanzania in terms of

sulphur content. In 2000’s years, the sulphur content was about 2,500 particles per million (ppm). Under this engagement, the resolution was to reduce sulphur content to 500 ppm. As of now, the sulphur content is below 50ppm. In 2015, DART Agency partnered the UN Environment

• n

emphasizing cleaner vehicle technologies/standards including Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Electricity that reduce air pollution to create healthy cities.

• 4. DART Next steps

DART Next Steps

• To provide full service for DART Phase 1
• Procurement of Service Providers is
• n 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

• 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 2025 morning peak hour demand Scenario 2030 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

Trunk Feeder

• 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

• 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”.
