These variants are called DalaDala, the term may refer to any public vehicle leading from an open-air truck to a minibus. They usually cost 2000 TZS per person for a stop, but the prices can vary according to the distance. Dala-Dalas also operate from the airport. This route ends at Stone Town. You would have to catch another bus from the city centre station towards your destination.

About the Route
