Who we are
Public transport built for the island's future
GRT is Zanzibar's green public transit provider. Our fleet of 85 electric passenger buses connects communities, gets people to work and school, and keeps the island moving — without the noise, fumes, and fuel costs of diesel transport.
We believe clean mobility is economic development: every route we run supports local jobs, local trade, and a healthier Zanzibar.

- Electric buses run near-silent, cutting noise pollution in busy corridors and residential areas alike.
- A stronger green economy
- Local jobs in operations, charging, and maintenance — green infrastructure that invests in Zanzibar's people.
