VISITORS GET ADVICE ON BRT
Monday, 17 October 2011

Over the next few years, Dar es Salaam will be building its own Bus Rapid Transit system, and it sent a delegation to get some advice and input from Joburg.

SUCCESSES, advice and best practice on the road to Rea Vaya were discussed with a delegation from Dar es Salaam, which is setting up its own Bus Rapid Transit system.

The Tanzanian city, the economic centre of the country as well as its richest city, has a population of more than 2,6 million. Its BRT system is already in the planning stage, with a completion date set for 2015.

Jacques van Zijl, the Rea Vaya project manager, and Charles Block, the director of infrastructure, met the delegation at the Johannesburg Roads Agency offices in the inner city. According to the group, the aim of the tour was to build lines of communication between Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam.

They were here to learn about Joburg's urban transport policy, to learn about easing urban transport issues, discuss the challenges faced by Dar es Salaam, and find practical applications to adopt from Johannesburg.

Operators answer questions from delegates on how they communicate with bus drivers on different routes.

Among the visitors was the city's project manager for its BRT, Ladislaus Bigambo, and Jumble Katala, the transportation and planning manager for Dar Rapid Transit Agency.

Van Zijl spoke about the implementation of Rea Vaya, giving a history from its beginning up until the last stage of the first phase. Block took them through the processes of developing infrastructure and answered questions about the choice of designs.

The Dar es Salaam delegates in a presentation on how to implement the Bus Rapid Transport system.
The Tanzanians asked why air conditioners were not installed at the stations. In reply, Block said it was expensive to maintain air conditioners and people were often not satisfied. Some wanted them to be switched off while others wanted them to be switched on.

Stations used natural lighting and natural ventilation to moderate temperature.

There were also some words of advice to encourage the Tanzanians to avoid the mistakes that had been made in Joburg, which had had to learn the hard way. Van Zijl encouraged them to build a specialised road dedicated to the system, as the buses were heavier than normal.

In Johannesburg, Rea Vaya had dedicated lanes, mostly in the middle of the road. Block said this was an advantage because Joburgers tended to damage the road.

The visitors also learned how the system operates. Van Zijl explained that the City designed and built all infrastructures, such as depots, roads and installed control centre in the JRA building. Private contractors managed the ticketing system, cash collection and station management.

Security was among the matters discussed. Van Zijl said that through the control centre, it was possible to see everything that was happening in each station as they had CCTV cameras.

To ensure effective service, commuters received route planning information and demand was monitored at stations so that more buses could be sent to those stations where there were many commuters.

Through the control centre, the City also communicated with station management and with passengers at stations through messaging signage and verbally.

The control centre also operated automatic vehicle locators that used GPS (global positioning system) to track buses; a driver management system to manage drivers' handling of the buses; as well as scheduling systems for drivers, their buses and operators.

Also on the agenda during the visit, which took place on 11 October, was a discussion about working with the 10 taxi associations affected by the Phase 1A routes.

Some 585 minibus taxis were displaced by the route. They were scrapped, and in return their owners got shares in the company that operates Phase 1A, PioTrans.

Van Zijl said that when the phase was launched there were a lot of challenges. Some minibus taxi associations resisted the system and embarked on a protest, but issues were later resolved.

A visit was also undertaken to the control centre, where some of the visitors' questions were answered by operators at the centre. They also showed the delegation how the control centre worked.

One of the operators allowed one of the visitors to communicate with a bus driver who was on his way from Soweto. Questions they asked of the control centre operators included, how did they see if a bus was late and what happened when heavy traffic caused delays.

The operator said that their control room is right next to the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Division (JMPD) control room and in the case of heavy traffic they report to the division who then rush to the location to serve as points men to ease the traffic.

To conclude their tour, the visitors took a ride on a Rea Vaya bus to some of the biggest stations, like Soccer City station that is next to Africa's largest stadium, FNB Stadium.

Mkataba wa ujenzi wa mabasi yaendayo kasi wasainiwa

Thursday, 22 December 2011 19:08

Waziri wa Ujenzi, Dk John Magufuli akiwaonyesha kwa waandishi wa habari jijini Dar es Salaam jana, michoro ya barabara za juu ambazo zitapunguza msongomano katika Jiji hilo. Picha na Zacharia Osanga Fredy Azzah <Mwananchi.co.tz> WAKALA wa Barabara nchini (Tanrods) na Kampuni ya ujenzi wa barabara ya M/S Strabag Internation GmbH ya Ujerumani, wamesaini mkataba wa ujenzi wa miundombinu ya usafiri wa mabasi yaendayo kasi kwa awamu ya kwanza wenye thamani ya Sh240.8 bilioni. Mtendaji Mkuu wa Tanrods, Patrick Mfugale, alisema kwa mujibu wa mkataba huo, awamu hiyo ya kwanza itajumuisha ujenzi wa barabara ya Morogoro kutoka Kimara mpaka Kivukoni Feri, barabara ya Kawawa kutoka Magomeni hadi Morocco na kutoka Fire hadi barabara ya makutano ya Nyerere (Kamata). Alisema kuwa ujenzi huo ambao unatarajiwa kukamilika ndani ya miezi 36 kuanzia sasa, utajumuisha vituo 29 vya kawaida vya mabasi hayo, vituo vikuu vitano, karakana mbili, ujenzi wa madaraja 3 ya watembea kwa miguu maeneo ya Ubungo, Kimara na Morocco. Alisema mkataba wa ujenzi wa mfumo huo wa barabara wenye urefu wa kilomita 20.9 unatekelezwa kwa fedha za mkopo kutoka Benki ya Dunia (WB) ambayo imetoa Sh150 bilioni. Naye Mtendaji Mkuu wa Wakala wa Mradi wa Mabasi yaendayo Kasi jijini Dar es Salaam (DART) , Cosmas Takule, alisema mradi huo unakabiliwa na changamoto mbalimbali ikiwemo baadhi ya watu kukataa kuhama katika maeneo wanayotakiwa kuhama kupisha miundombinu ya mradi huo. “Kuna watu wengine wanataka kulipwa fidia kubwa kuliko ilivyopangwa na wanafungua kesi mahakamani hali inayochelewesha mradi,” alisema Takule. Waziri wa Ujenzi , Dk John Magufuli ambaye alishuhudia utiwaji saini wa mkataba huo, alimtaka mkandarasi anayejenga miundombinu hiyo, kuhakikisha anakamilisha ujenzi kwa wakati na ikibidi iwe kabla ya muda waliokubaliana. “Dar es Salaam kuna msongamano mkubwa sana wa magari, ikibidi hakikisheni mnamaliza kazi kabla ya muda tuliokubaliana,” alisema Dk Magufuli.Aliwataka pia watu wanaotakiwa kupisha ujenzi huo, kufanya hivyo haraka kwa kuwa wanachelewesha kumalizika kwa tatizo la foleni.

hawa wanajenga kituo cha mabasi haya, pale kivukoni,

 

[HP1]

Tusubiri tuone huo utekelezaji wake

 

[Adili]

Naomba kuuliza. Nani atamiriki mradi huu?

 

[Watu8]

Barabara za bongo zina eneo kubwa katikakti, mfano kilwa raod, sam nujoma road pia haya mabasi hayahitaji barabara kubwa sana

Unalosema linawezekana lakini kumbuka pia katika kila kituo lazima kujengwe ama "underground tunnel" au "overhead passage" kwa ajili ya watu kuvuka kutoka upande wa kulia au kushoto.

 

[Soki]

Wanajamvi, wenye kufahamu details kuhusu mradi huu wa DART hebu watufafanulie. Hivi hayo mabasi yakoje? Ikiwezekana tupe links za kujisomea online kuhusu miradi kama huu wa kwetu. Hivi utalete relief ya adha ya usafiri tunayoipata Dar kwa kiasi gani? Miundo mbinu yake ikoje? JF NI JUKWAA LA MAARIFA!

Hicho ni kiinimacho kwa watz, jamaa alitaka sifa kwa kuahidi yasiyotekelezeka, mara reli, machnga complex, huu ni woga wa ki-kwere.

 

[Katibu Tarafa]

Hata mimi nisaidieni kuelewa hii habari, inazidi kunichanginyi. Nimewahi kufika ulaya na kuona mabasi ya wenzetu yanavyotoa huduma na utaratibu wa ratiba zao za mabasi zilivyo. lakini hapa bongo nasikia tu mabasi yaendayo kasi sijui ni msamiati tu au ni tofauti na yale ya ulaya. je ya kwetu hapa tunaiga mfumo wa nchi gani, nikijua hiyo nchi naweza na mimi nika google walau tu kupata picha ya hayo mabasi na njia yanayopita.

Pungezi uvivu, tafuta habari sahihi, huu mradi pesa yake imetolewa na World Bank serikali ya Tanzania haijatoa hata senti moja. Kazi za ujenzi zinafanywa na kampuni ya Strabag AG kutoka Ujerumani.

Huu mradi bado uko katika hatua za mwanzo za UJENZI. Ni juzi tu eneo la kituo kikuu (control centre) la haya mabasi ndio limekuwa cleared baada ya kuvunja zile nyumba za bandari pale Gerezani. Ujenzi utafanywa na Strabag AG kutoka German pesa ($ 200 Million) zimetolewa na World Bank. :A S-omg:

Mimi nadhani huu mradi hautafanikiwa kabisa kwa sababu Dar haikupangwa vizuri tangu hapo mwanzo. Sawa mabasi yatakuwepo lakini tegemeeni hayatakwenda kasi tunavyofikiria. Ni mwendo wa pole , kwani msongamano uko palepale kama kawa.

Kwanini yasiende kasi/au mradi usifanikiwe wakati barabara zake hazitatumiwa na magari mengine ya kawaida?

Kumbuka hiyo miji mingine ambako hii idea ilikoanzia foleni yao ilikuwa ni ya kufa mtu, hii ya hapo Dar ni cha-mtoto...
