The Minister of Transport of Senegal, Mr. Mamadou Seck, has decided to begin a pilot Bus Rapid Transit project to develop two corridors in Dakar.

The Minister’s decision came after he received a report from Mr. Malick Ndiaye, one of his most senior advisors. Mr. Ndiaye’s report was informed by his recent study tour to Paris and Rouen, undertaken with Colonel Mbareck Diop, ITDP’s Senegal Country Director. The tour was organized by SYSTRA, CONNEX, and ITDP.
