Common questions about Buses in Tanzania

What Buses routes are there in Tanzania?

We sell 76 Buses routes in Tanzania, serving 14 places run by 0 operators Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

Can I travel out of Tanzania by Buses?

24 of the Buses routes we sell touching Tanzania cross a border and 52 stay inside it, reaching 3 other countries including Kenya, Uganda, Zambia. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

What is the longest Buses route in Tanzania?

The longest Buses route we sell touching Tanzania runs from Dar es Salaam to Nakonde, 771 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 329 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Prices come from the supplier wherever we hold a live quote. Elsewhere we show an indicative price built from the real distance, the real operator and a fare curve over lead time, day of the week and season. Those are labelled Estimated fare and cannot be booked.
