'Oh this horrible traffic' is one of our mantras when travelling through Dar es Salaam. Yet, things are getting better. You will be happy to know that our fine Austrian Strabag is on the plan with building a speedway accross town and even the town's own council came up with a promising plan: the old industrial railwayline crossing some of Dar's most populated neighbourhoods will be reinstated as a commuter train! It started operating a few days ago and we are all waiting in suspense to see if it will relieve the city centre's traffic jams... Since its route cannot be really called direct and since the tracks are old (so I guess the trains will not be the fastest) I have my doubts, but the city council definitely gets my thumbs up for being innovative for once.
