Moving from one point to another has never been easier and more convenient as transportation or mobility applications have come to play. In Tanzania, where internet penetration stands at around 25 percent, digital mobility services simplify transportation, thanks to Bolt and bber ride-hailing services.
However, this was not always the case, as in early 2022, Uber decided to leave Tanzania. Bolt also limited its operations due to regulatory concerns and the increase in transportation taxes imposed by authorities.
With population expansions in cities such as Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Kilimanjaro, and Dodoma, digital mobility services are again getting attention and usage over time and space.
Tanzania is witnessing the stark rise of locally developed solutions such as Paisha, Twende, and Linkee, which are challenging the status quo established by Uber and Bolt, which are progressively resuming their services.
