I dot not wish to dispise some other peoples business but surelly my DAR Epress is no more. Yesterday I bordeded it but to my disappointed I and my fellow passengers arrived at Kimara Mwisho at 10.00 PM before the bus went limb in the traffic jam. This was our second bus after the one fom Ar. almost caught fire at Kibaha weighing bridge before we were rescued by this one from Rombo which had million tyre problems along the way. Two buses , but never reach Ubungo terminal.
Who knows the life cycle (depreciation) of such type of buses so that the owners can be advised to off shelf them and buy new ones? I once loved Dar express.
Mfamaji, that is so true, I am as well sad, maana kila nikiiona Dar express njiani napata hamu ya kusafiri ghafla, kkwa namna ninavyoipenda. But recently from Ar-Dar mambo yalikuwa sivyo, yaani gari inasimama njiani kuongeza wese, soda wananunua kwa chupa za kuhesabu, gari limekuwa bati na sehemu moja ya kioo imejazwa tissue ili mvua isiingie ndani (kioo kibovu), na sad of all, dereva hakuwa anasikiliz matakwa ya wateja wake, maana alikuwa anakimbiza sijui hata alikuwa anawahi nini.
For the reputation, Dar Express need to buy brand new toys as they used to, maana wakileta hata mabasi mawili mapaya najua things will work just fine. I trust downfall imeanza baada ya mke wa tajiri kufariki, maana yeye ndo alikuwa anamanage mambo aende vizuri, including handling customer complaits (which were taken very serious upon comfirmation).
Lakini sasa, nimekuwa kiruka njia, sina uhakika basi gani nipande, nikiendea KLM nikakuta Yutong imepaki, hamu ya safari inaisha, maana siyazimii kivile over Scania. Sasa nimekuwa mtu wa kuhangaika, lakini alternative naona KLM wanajitahidi. That can keep me on the road for now. But if Dar express wakijipanga, I just want to tell them that I am their loyal customer. Please don't die.
