Tanzania opening $290m bus network in commercial capital

Tanzania opened a new public transport system in its commercial capital on Wednesday, in an effort to ease the journeys of-millions of commuters.    A city of four-million people, Dar es Salaam until now has had only a haphazard transport system, based on mostly private mini-buses. The new network, paid for by a $290-million loan from the World Bank, will comprise more than 100 buses operating on dedicated bus lanes into the centre of the city.
