The Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA) yesterday banned motorcycles and three-wheelers, popularly known as Bajaj, from Dar es Salaam's central business district in a bid to control congestion in the city.

From now onwards motorcycles and Bajajs will not be allowed to go beyond the limits set by the public transport regulator.

A Sumatra statement issued yesterday stated that motorcycles and Bajajs should ply not beyong Sam Nujoma road, Mandela road, and Kurasini, adding that motorcircles and Bajajs plying the Tegeta should not go beyond Mwenge.

"They are confined to the earmarked limits. Violators of the new system will face penalties of less than 50,000/-," the statement said.

Sumatra said that regional traffic police authorities in the three Dar es Salaam municipalities – Temeke, Ilala and Kinondoni – met yesterday and agreed on the modalities of implementing the ban.

This latest decision intends to reduce congestion in Dar routes and improve the city's environment.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs has formed a technical committee of six people to research and identify a speed governor system suitable for the country's environment to minimize traffic accidents which have been causing deaths and disabilities to many people.

Home Affairs Minister Shamsi Vuai Nahodha announced about the committee yesterday at a meeting attended by traffic police officers, SUMATRA) and National Insurance Corporation officials.

The technical committee will include 6 officials from the traffic police, Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT), the College of Engineering and Technology (CoET), Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Mkuu bado siyo solution ya msongamano katikati ya jiji. Kuhusu kamati itakayotafuta speed gavana zinzofaa kufungwa ktk mabasi bado waziri amefanya makosa kama ya watangulizi wake. Wadau muhimu ambao ni abiria sisi watumiaji wa huu usafiri,wamiliki wa mabasi na madereva wanaendesha haya mabasi hawamo ktk hii kamati. Wapo watu wa serikali na taasisi zake.

dah, inamaana nikiwa na haraka toka ubungo kuelekea kinodoni
lazima nipande taxi! kama ni hivyo naona hii imekula kwangu ;-(

 

[Hofstede]

Vipi kuhusu zile Ambulances?, Maana nazo zina miguu mitatu. Ikitokea mtu anataka kuhamishwa kutoka ocean road kwenda muhimbili na kinyume chake itakuwaje?

 

[Mwakalinga Bujo]

Walikuwa mstari wa mbele kuvaa T-shirt na kofia za rangi ya njano na kijani...

 

[Kang]

Hizo speed governor ndo zitazuia matairi kupasuka?

 

[Twasila]

waondoe mikokoteni na maguta pia

 

[Timtim]

waondoe mikokoteni na maguta pia

Ni kweli wasukuma mikokoteni na maguta wana tabu sana na ni wabishi wa kupita no entry.

 

[Cipro]

maguta na mikokoten vimezid hasa kariakoo,ilala mpk buguruni.ila kufungiwa kwa pikpik kutatuumiza kwele hasa wahindi na wafanyabiashara wengine kwa sababu zina saidia kwenye fast delivery of small goods.

 

[Caroline Danzi]

Wrong BAN, maguta na mikokoteni + Bajaji. SEKIDO wangeziacha zinatusaidia kwenye kuwahi aaaah! tuandamane jamani watumia JINYEE PIKIPIKI

 

[Mageuzi]

waziri amekurupuka.
Foleni zinasababishwa na magari na bajaji,siyo Piki piki.kwani motobike zinapita kati kati ya magari. nadhani amefanya uamuzi huu kwa shinikizo la wamiliki wa TAXI. kwani boda boda zimeua soko la TAXI kati kati ya mji.

 

[Songambele]

Waziri alipaswa kuunda kamati kujua tatizo la ajari sasa yeye anaunda kamati kuangalia namna gani wataimplement soln.
Baya zaidi wajumbe ndio chanzo cha ajari, nani asiyejua kuwa traffic na rushwa ndio namba wani wakifuatiwa na ubabaishaji wa sumatra ambao mara zote wanakurupuka tu, tbs sasa hawajua hata wajibu wao na madereva wengi shule tatizo na uwelewa mdogo.
Abiria hana tofauti na mzigo hata maoni yake hayahitajiki waziri atawasemea wakati waziri hata kuchimba dawa hajui ni nini!

Is this the right and best way to deal with traffic problem? Have you ever thought of charging people to get in the city centre?
