It is a mark of recognition, cities like Dar were too insignificant to be considered. The one talking of fyovers should tell us whether Pretoria does not have them
My friend, flyovers aren't the only solution to traffic jams,
Kuna mambo mengi yanatakiwa yafanyike kupunguza msongamano wa magari barabarani,
Sijui idadi ya magari iliyopo nai currently but kwa simple facts ni kuwa
Nairobi is 270 sq mi, with population of 4mn people,
Dar is 614 sq mi (~nai 3times) , with 5mn inhabitants,
Sasa hapo linganisha vitu kama population density,
Let's assume the no of motor vehicles are relatively the same between the two cities.
You can imagine whose going to suffer more..au vipi..
Actually cities can build as many flyovers as possible but what about destinations??
I appreciate Dar for bringing things like BRT, for sure it was a geneous move,
morogoro road sasa hivi haina jam kabisa kama before kwa sababu currently many people don't see a reason to drive to city center wakati wanaweza commute DART wakafika comfortably within 20-30mns toka home ~20km away kwa 0.3$ tu..
To decongest cities, besides miundombinu, governments must think of ways to reduce the use of private cars in cities by vigorously improving public transport systems.
