| 520 | _aIn sixty years, Ndiaga Ndiaye, who died in 2020, was Senegal’s greatest transport operator. His exceptional career took him from his rural background to urban transport in Dakar, and from a cab driver to a multi-operator of minibuses. At the head of a company with no management structure, he used as his operating resources his driver and his apprentice, as well as vehicles that had been repaired many times. Dominating urban transport, he imposed his trademark, with his family name eponymous with a pick-up vehicle. At the turn of the 1980s, the redeployment of the State through a process of discharge and the adoption of deregulation measures in the Senegalese economy led to the emergence of many private transport players, including Ndiaga Ndiaye, and legitimized informality at all levels of decision-making. His network of political and religious allegiances reinforced his position of power and made him a key player in Senegalese transport. Based on a lengthy qualitative study, this article presents the geographical evolution of Ndiaga Ndiaye’s career, and the part he played in the changes that took place in Dakar’s urban transport. Ndiaga Ndiaye was an opportunistic and reactive man who embodies the archetype of Senegalese people of rural origin, integrated into the urban space of the capital, who, like the political, economic and cultural power elites, found his place in contemporary society. | ||
