The map has
been designed which shows several Dala dala (vehicles used for public transport) routes in
Dar. The map shows detailed view of the city routes to the local travellers.
The map would at least try to solve the problems to the foreigners who are unaware
of the vehicles routing system in the city.
There are
approximately 250 different daladala
routes crossing Dar es Salaam, and depicting
all of them on a schematic map is a challenge.
Routes and vehicles are color coded according to the major arterial
streets over which they travel. There
are only seven such streets. The designer has used the corresponding seven
colors in the diagram. Different
combinations of these arterials, as well as different origins and destinations
along them, account for the hundreds of different routes. A high quality pdf
