Dala Dala in Arusha
Known as Dala Dala these taxis ply the streets looking for trade. In the old days when trucks had to be cranked with a crank handle to start the driver always had a helper to crank the engine to start it. The helper was known as the Turn Boy as he turned the crank handle. This was corrupted to Tuniboy and the name stuck as a drivers helper.
Each Dala Dala has a Tuniboy that hangs out the window touting for passengers as the Dala Dala speeds along through traffic.
The Name Tanganyika still survives!.
