Tanzania is modernizing its railway network to boost trade, investment, and industrial growth. President Hassan outlined plans to complete Standard Gauge Railway lines along the Central Corridor, extend new lines from Tanga to Musoma and Mtwara to Mbamba Bay, and upgrade existing routes, including TAZARA and several Meter Gauge sections. The government will invite private operators to manage selected lines and develop modern commuter trains in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma to improve urban transport.
