Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>DAR ES SALAAM:<\/b> THE Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC) is finalizing a comprehensive ticketing system for the Standard Gauge Railway, set to begin initial operations next month.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made by TRC Director General Masanja Kadogosa during the SGR Implementation Committee\u2019s tour of the project from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.<\/p>\n

Mr Kadogosa emphasized that the system aims to provide multiple booking options accessible to both smartphone and basic cellophane users, moving away from the outdated meter gauge railway (MGR) system where passengers had to queue early in the morning to secure tickets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are integrating our systems with local platforms to allow ticket booking through various channels, including a special card,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The TRC is also collaborating with financial institutions and mobile telecommunication companies to streamline the ticket purchasing process.<\/p>\n

The Tanzanian government recently announced that initial operations will commence on June 14, with passenger transport from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.<\/p>\n

This phase will test all systems before the official launch on July 25. During the tour, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport, Professor Godius Kahyarara, highlighted the economic benefits of the SGR.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will assess how the railway will function and its potential to boost the economy, including supporting livestock and meat processing industries,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He noted the efficiency of the electric railway in transporting perishable goods, which will arrive in excellent condition and quality.<\/p>\n

Executive Secretary of the Planning Commission, Lawrence Mafuru, affirmed the project\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur tour confirmed that the railway is ready to start operations from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro,\u201d Mr Mafuru said.<\/p>\n

He said the significance of reliable transportation infrastructure in promoting growth across various sectors, including agriculture, industry, and commerce.<\/p>\n

Operational trials between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma continue, with the remaining work for the first section, including the completion of overpasses and the installation of gates to prevent unauthorized access to the railway areas, expected to conclude by mid-June.<\/p>\n

The TRC has already conducted extensive tests on 28 coaches and three locomotives, ensuring readiness for operation.<\/p>\n

The Dar es Salaam \u2013 Morogoro section is 97.96 per cent complete, Morogoro \u2013 Makutupora is at 96.73 per cent, Makutupora \u2013 Tabora at 14.34 per cent, Tabora \u2013 Isaka at 5.8 per cent, and Isaka \u2013 Mwanza at 57.08 per cent.<\/p>\n

The construction of the Tabora \u2013 Kigoma section is ongoing, reaching 5.49 per cent, and procurement processes for the Uvinza \u2013 Musongati railway are underway, awaiting approval from the African Development Bank (AfDB).<\/p>\n
