Dakar Mobilité’s Experience
The launch of Dakar’s bus rapid transit (BRT) system marks a major milestone for public transport in West Africa. As the first fully electric BRT deployed at this scale in sub‑Saharan Africa, the project supports both Senegal’s national sustainable mobility strategy and a broader global shift toward high-performance, energy‑efficient, data‑driven mass transit solutions.
Operated by Dakar Mobilité, the network is built on a suite of integrated intelligent systems, with the NAVINEO CAD/AVL system, developed by Systrans, an Equans company, at its core.
Today, this project serves as a reference for transport authorities, operators, and funders involved in developing high-capacity transit networks in dense urban environments, particularly across sub-Saharan Africa.
