The route consists of 21 km of trunk road, 57.9 km of feeder roads, 5 large terminals and 29 stations. The route is designed to carry 300,000 commuters daily along 29 stations. Construction of the first phase began in April 2012 and was completed in December 2015 by Strabag international GmbH. Phase I of the BRT system runs for 21 km from Kimara to Ubungo ending at Kivukoni/Morocco. The initial project cost was financed by the world bank and the bank provided $180 million for the construction of the first phase. A 130 km bus rapid transit was planned to cover over 90% of the city's population and the project was split into six phases due to the large investment required. The project was placed under the Prime Minister's office and a Dar Rapid Transit Agency (DART) was created through a government notice on. A bus rapid transit and a metro transit system were proposed but the metro system was not approved due to the high construction and operational cost involved. The government predicted the city population to grow over 5 million by 2015 and invited the Japan International Cooperation Agency to design a master plan for transport in the city in June 2008. With the rapidly growing population of the city, the government began to draw plans for a rapid transit system in 2003.
