Year: 2013-present
Client: Dar Rapid Transit Agency (DART)
Consortium partners: Rebel Group, Velma Law (Dar Es Salaam)

The DART BRT project concerns the full-scale implementation and operationalization of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in the city of Dar es Salaam to modernize public transport. It is to be a high quality, low-cost public transportation system operating on exclusive infrastructure – offering affordable mobility, urban environmental improvements, and a better quality of life to the residents of Dar es Salaam.

The Dar Es Salaam BRT represents the municipality’s aim to create a comprehensive and well-organized public transport system and is key to managing the city’s increasing traffic in the context of booming population growth. It is deemed to eventually become one of the largest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in the world and at the time of its conceptualization was a first of its kind in a low-income economy.

Rebel leads a transaction advisory team for the DART Agency for the procurement and contracting of rapid transit bus operations and fare collection and fund management under a PPP arrangement. It does so for phases 1 and 2.
