    Distance from Singida Town to other cities in Tanzania.

    Bus service is available from Arusha, Dodoma, and Mwanza. All roads have unpaved sections, so the going can be slow and uncomfortable.

    • Arusha: TSh 14,000 on Mtea or Airborn City
    • Katesh: TSh 5,000
    • Dodoma: TSh 12,000 on ABC
    • Dar es Salaam: TSh 25,000 on ABC

    There is train service from Dodoma on some days, but it is primarily a freight line (slow) and only third class service (hard benches, substantial overcrowding) is available. TSh 4,800. Purchasing tickets in advance is recommended.
