Tanzania's bus system is getting a serious extension, like tomorrow. A government minister just ordered the rapid transit agency to stretch its service from Mbezi all the way to Mloganzila. Professor Riziki Shemdoe gave this command during a check on repair funds. The goal is to tackle the city's brutal transport problems head-on. He also demanded ticket stations be set up along the new route.
This push comes with a huge cash infusion for fixes. Officials inspected over 1.2 billion shillings earmarked for bus spare parts. The minister had another urgent task for the agency. He told them to clear 49 new buses stuck at the port. The order is to get them on the road fast. Storing them there is just racking up pointless fees and taxes.
The transit agency's boss, Pius Ng'ingo, promised swift action on all fronts. He confirmed the new buses are already in the country. He said they will directly help with the current transport crunch. Ng'ingo also made a public plea. He asked people to use the service properly and stop wrecking the infrastructure.
