Not necessarily. A Dar es Salaam to Morogoro bus may operate at different times depending on:

Whether the coach is starting in Dar es Salaam or continuing to another region
Many coaches stopping in Morogoro are actually longer-distance services travelling onward to destinations such as Dodoma, Mwanza, Musoma, Bukoba or Geita. Passengers travelling only to Morogoro can select Msamvu as their dropping point.
Always search using your exact travel date to view the currently available departure times.

Ubungo: The late-night Kimbinyiko International Coach service departed from Ubungo.
