 Comment What is the specific of this bus? --Berthold Werner (talk) 17:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, I don't get you. What do you mean? Muhammad 08:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • What is the difference between this Daladala bus and other share taxis? Why is it necessary to have a scope Dalada bus insteed of Share taxi? --Berthold Werner (talk) 09:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Share Taxis are found in many parts of the world. The wikipedia article will give you the countries. However, Daladala buses (called Daladalas) are only found in Tanzania. Also, share taxis can be different forms of vehicles but Daladala buses are only minibuses. Muhammad 11:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I was first sceptic concerning the relevance of the scope, but after reading the section about the Dala-dala (that's how it is spelled in the article), I actually think the scope makes it over my relevance bar, as the Dala-dalas seems to be a very important aspect of public transportation in Tanzania. However, I am not (yet) convinced that the image illustrates the scope well, as it is only in the details of the image that you notice something which could relate specifically to the scope, like the words on the front. A view much closer would be interesting, where you could also sense the goings on in the dala-dala, which apparently can be quite colorful. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:03, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I wanted to take a picture that would show the going ons of the dala-dala but I decided against it for the safety of my camera. It is very easy to be robbed off one's possessions whilst in s uch a crowded area. The only other possible option that I see is I take a picture of a dala-dala, showing the side view, but IMO this will probably have less EV than the current picture.

      • I acknowledge the difficulties there may be in getting a good photo of such a bus to illustrate a Dala-dala well. However, it still does not convince me into supporting the nominated image. -- Slaunger (talk) 09:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
