Uber permanently exited Tanzania on January 30th, 2026, citing an "unworkable regulatory environment." This follows a previous 10-month suspension in April 2022 due to regulatory disagreements with the Land Transport Regulatory Authority (LATRA).

• LATRA imposed a 15% commission cap, which Uber stated was below their 25% break-even point for operations.
• Uber in Tanzania was treated as a traditional taxi service, leading to strict per-kilometer and per-minute guide fares that prevented dynamic pricing.
• Competitor Bolt successfully integrated local transport options like bodabodas and tuktuks, capturing a significant market share with over 25,000 drivers.
