Daladala. These mini vans seated 18 people with the aisle jump seats down. At one point I counted 30 people in a mini van. I was on some which were more crowded, but I was unable to move my head enough to count. Tanzania does have a law that the door must be closed when the daladala is moving. This makes for an interesting experience when they cram people in to get the door to slide closed. Dar Es Salaam, TZ -- 11/23/2005 |
