The short answer
Why TaxiDex tops the list in Dar es Salaam
Most dispatch tools were priced for a different era — per vehicle, per trip, or in rigid ride-buckets that punish you for growing. For a Tanzania fleet the winner is the one that is localised, fairly priced, and quick to switch to.
LATRA regulates ride-hailing fares and commissions directly, and a 2022 cap on platform commissions prompted operators like Uber to scale back service in protest.
