Public Transport in Dar -Daladalas

Dalas are the major means of public transport in Dar. Other than Dalas, the only other way is to use taxis.

Daladalas

There are 4 major daladala stops in Dar:
Ubungo Stand- this stand serves all the buses coming from Mbezi and Kimara and going to the city centre (kariakoo and posta),airport,national stadium etc.
It is on Morogoro Rd near Ubungo bus Terminal where the big buses to other regions in Tanzania depart from.
To get to City Centre (Posta) from Ubungo, you have to take the bus with a red Strip line written (UBUNGO-POSTA,or KIMARA-POSTA,or MBEZI-POSTA),likewise, coming from City Centre to Ubungo.
