Magal-2025 : 800 bus mobilisés, plus de 28 000 pèlerins transportés, Dakar Dem Dikk réalise une belle prouesse
On the occasion of the Grand Magal of Touba 2025, the national transport company, Dakar Dem Dikk (DDD), once again demonstrated its expertise in logistics and public service. An exceptional system of 800 buses was mobilized from the sites of Colobane, Yoff, Arène nationale and Rufisque, allowing 28,000 pilgrims to reach the holy city in conditions of safety, comfort and at affordable prices.
During a visit to Colobane station, the general director of Dakar Dem Dikk, Assane Mbengue, praised the success of this operation which began on August 10.
"This mobilization is part of a directive from the Ministry of Transport aimed at organizing efficient transport plans for major events. The Magal is a major event that requires a strong mobilization of land transport. This year, we have expanded the departure points to meet the growing demand. Thanks to coordination with the defense and security forces (gendarmerie, police, firefighters) and the involvement of our teams, we have largely exceeded forecasts, with 28,000 pilgrims transported. This is a true logistical feat," said Mr. Mbengue.
Dakar boss Dem Dikk also praised the professionalism of the operating teams and drivers, highlighting the significant improvements made this year to organization and safety.
"I would like to thank the operating teams and drivers for their diligence. Our passengers traveled in peace and in better conditions. This is a great satisfaction," he added.
The Grand Magal of Touba 2025 will be remembered for the exceptional mobilization of Dakar Dem Dikk. For this major religious event, the national transport company deployed 800 buses to transport 28,000 pilgrims, thus confirming its role as a logistical pillar of major national events, faithful to its mission of public service and support for the Senegalese people with reliability, humanism, and professionalism.
The fixed rate of 4,000 CFA francs has been maintained, despite increases noted by other operators, making the journey accessible to all budgets. This strategic choice demonstrates DDD's commitment to serving all social classes without compromising on quality and safety.
Let us recall that since 2024, Dakar Dem Dikk has resolutely been part of this dynamic by offering reliable, accessible and well-organized transport solutions for each major national event.
The buses are scheduled to return on Thursday, August 14, at 5 a.m., from the Sokhna May housing projects in Touba, in a structured and secure manner, assures the CEO of DDD.

Combien d3 bus avez achete dp8 votre arrivee? POPULISME!
Ils diront meme qu ils ont paye les clients pour qu ils se rendent a Touba
Dans tout ça j'ai pas vue le train partir cette fois le train en partance pour Touba les stagiaires ont t'il déjà sabordé notre train
Enfin DDD se réveille en grande opportunité financière à maximiser et en même temps assurer le Service Public. Bon début ce DG et espérer que les syndicats et le personnel sachent enfin qu'il est de rompre avec l'image négatif de leur entreprise depuis la Sotrac en Mal gouvernance.
Au détriment des pauvres dakarois obligés de se débrouiller pour pouvoir se déplacer...
Merci de votre professionnalisme
