Buses in Tanzania
The main route for most travelers in Tanzania is certainly the route
between Dar es Salaam, Moshi and Arusha. The section between Moshi and
Arusha is also the street with the most accidents in the country.
This route is also served by luxury coaches that are in relatively
good condition. All other routes, and discount deals are served by old
buses. Almost all buses in Tanzania are getting on in years and in
many it is a wonder that he still runs. The drivers are often very
young and inexperienced.
The buses in Dar es Salaam, all of the Ubungo station from which lies
five miles west of downtown. Make it - as in all crowded places - on
their luggage. Prices vary depending on the bus company. Scandinavian
Express is one of the more expensive providers, but their buses are
considered reliable and are in good condition.
Within the city run small mini buses, which are called Dalla-Dallas.
Your destination recognizes the trained eye of a colored stripe on the
side of the colorful buses. Unfortunately, one hidden in the secret
order as a tourist road general chaos of Dar es Salaam in most cases.
Stops do not exist. Instead, they beckon one side of the road passing
Dalla-Dalla, zuzusteigen order.
Be sure to ask before getting where we are headed if they do not want
to be lost. Excluding the driver, there is still a second crew member,
collects the money and keep driving for passengers at the roadside
lookout. The mini buses are usually very - very! - Full.
Alternatively, there are also motorized tricycles, tuk-tuks called, as
it is also known from Asia. Even ordinary taxis are plentiful. They
must negotiate before boarding on a price.

A second line was built in the seventies by the Chinese and runs
south-west of Dar es Salaam to Zambia. This TAZARA-Railway may also be
used to travel across the country, but especially the transportation
