Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan addressed Parliament members during their final session. She reported major success from the Standard Gauge Railway that started operations last August. The modern train system has carried over 2.5 million passengers since launch. Government records show the railway earned nearly 61 billion shillings from ticket sales. Hassan praised the project for transforming how citizens travel across the country.
The new railway cuts journey times between major cities from eight hours to three hours. Residents of Dar es Salaam can reach Dodoma much faster than before. Morogoro passengers also benefit from quicker travel options. Hassan joked that some lawmakers sleep at home and arrive at work the next morning. The improved transportation helps people manage their daily schedules better.
Construction teams continue building additional railway sections across Tanzania. Hassan wants more regions to access modern train services. The railway expansion forms part of her government's development plan. Officials believe better transportation will boost economic growth nationwide. The project aims to connect remote areas with major commercial centers.
Hassan emphasized how infrastructure investments benefit all Tanzanians. The railway project creates jobs and improves business opportunities. Faster transportation helps companies move goods more efficiently. Citizens save money on travel costs compared to other transport methods. The government plans to complete more railway segments during coming years.
