חבר1.0 March 5th, 2011, 04:27 PM I am really impressed by the public transportation in Algiers. I definitely wasn't expecting anything so modern and nice. It kind of pisses me off that all these north African countries can somehow afford nice metros and trams and other forms of public transportation, while in Israel we are limited to inter-city trains, buses and shared taxis. There will be a light-rail in Jerusalem that should be operational very soon. But in Tel Aviv public transport sucks (which usually isn't a problem because the city proper is incredibly compact; but travel across the greater Tel Aviv metro area on public transport is a pain in the ass).

It seems the North Africans are investing quite a bit in urban transportation, I'm loving the trams relatively cheap but also very beneficial.

Of course those old mercedes have a much better carosserie and are easy to maintain. And you can change the engine easily. F.e. you have a 240 you can build the engine of a much powerful 300 in it. I know people here who specialized in exporting mercedes engines and gearboxes to morocco and they make good money with it.
egypt69 March 6th, 2011, 02:07 AM yes, 100% of the buses in Brazil are made locally.
That's very impressive. A model to follow. The buses look top notch, and modern, and the fact that they are locally made makes it all the better. I want Egypt to do something like this.

Snassni March 6th, 2011, 02:10 AM dakhla are the Alsa busses built in morooco or only the carosserie like the other cities?
dakhla March 6th, 2011, 02:14 AM Of course those old mercedes have a much better carosserie and are easy to maintain. And you can change the engine easily. F.e. you have a 240 you can build the engine of a much powerful 300 in it. I know people here who specialized in exporting mercedes engines and gearboxes to morocco and they make good money with it.
i know but still they have to change them, those are too old even if they maintain them.
dakhla March 6th, 2011, 02:19 AM dakhla are the Alsa busses built in morooco or only the carosserie like the other cities?
i think it's just assembly like in other cities exept for the new one in rabat.
most cities require in the contract that the busses will be moroccan made of assembled in morocco.

New Buses imported from Qatar around 50 of them, they are to replace the Red Buses in Asmara and alot of them are to be used for Inter-City Transport.
lordangers5 March 6th, 2011, 10:13 PM Ah, everytime I see some stunning pic's of Asmara, I always see those distinctive yellow cabs. Good to see it's improving the rail system, must be very important to get that moving between the port and main city. Those new buses looked fantastic. Good to see N.Africa and from what we have seen of SSA, put in the effort to offer what seems like, a good quality of public transport for it's people and of coarse improving infastructure like rail lines which like all transport, is crucial for growth.

15 of the world's most bike-friendly cities
http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/ssi/story/3.0/banner/cp.matador.inc/showpage.logo.jpg (http://www.edition.cnn.com/)

May 6, 2011 -- Updated 1223 GMT (2023 HKT)
http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/TRAVEL/05/06/bike.friendly.cities.matador/t1larg.bike.jpg
From designated cycling areas to established community events, many global cities are decidedly bike-friendly.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Although Europe is home to many bike-friendly cities, Amsterdam is its bicycling capital
Designated cycling areas are appearing in many major U.S. cities, like Boulder, Colorado
Other world cities, like Cape Town, are making improvements to become bike-friendly
EUROPE
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The " bicycling capital of Europe" tops many lists -- including this one, it seems -- as the most bike-friendly city anywhere. Safe and extensive route networks, serious governmental promotion, and a bike culture that transcends class boundaries are all reasons why 40 percent of the city's traffic moves on two wheels.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona's Bicing program (http://www.bicing.cat/), one of many mass bike rental systems that have popped up recently in Europe and beyond, debuted in 2007 in the Catalonian capital. An annual Bike Week (http://www.barcelonayellow.com/index.php?view=details&id=487&option=com_eventlist&Itemid=357) is held in late May to spread the word.
Berlin, Germany
Commuting Berliners are never lonely -- 400,000 of them pedal to work each day. City leaders still aren't satisfied with this figure, and millions of euros have been allocated to encourage more cyclists to get on the streets. One result is a mapping website (http://www.vmz-info.de/web/guest/home) that helps you plot bike-specific routes.
Matador: Photo essay - 16 reasons to travel Patagonia by bike (http://matadornetwork.com/trips/photo-essay-16-reasons-to-travel-patagonia-by-bike)
Copenhagen, Denmark
In the Danish capital, around a third of the workforce gets to the office by bike. By some estimates (http://studentbikes.dk/bicyclestats.html), that's more than a million kilometers pedaled every day.
For an alternative and truly bike-friendly urban experience, check out Christiania (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z5Uvfxd8A0), a neighborhood of 850 that, in addition to setting up a semi-independent government and decriminalizing trade in cannabis, has banned cars.
Paris, France
Paris gets a nod here for its creation ofVélib' (http://en.velib.paris.fr/), one of the world's largest public bicycle rental programs. Twenty thousand stylish three-speeds are distributed among 1,450 rental stations throughout the city, available to subscribers at variable rates (rides under 30 minutes are free).
NORTH AMERICA
Boulder, Colorado
Denver's little hippy neighbor to the north dedicates 15% of its transportation budget to improving and promoting bicycle travel. Nearly every major roadway has a designated cycling area, and they've even instituted a pilot program to get kids biking to school. This guy (http://cyclinginboulder.blogspot.com/2007/05/boulder-bike-path-composite-map.html) has created a very cool color-coded route map, complete with local attractions.
Chicago, Illinois
Late during his 22-year tenure, Mayor Richard Daley became set on turning Chicago into "the most bicycle-friendly city in the United States." It doesn't appear to be all talk, either, as more bike lanes pop up all the time, and more laws that protect cyclists' safety are passed.
The City of Chicago website (http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdot/provdrs/bike/svcs/bicycling_information.html) has all you could ever want to know about the city's bicycle initiatives.
Matador: 12 essential items for a cycling trip (http://matadornetwork.com/goods/12-essential-items-for-a-cycling-trip/)
Davis, California
It's said there are more bikes than cars in this small, northern California city of 65,000. Not only that, but its official motto is "Most bicycle friendly town in the world." The city marks Bike Month (http://cityofdavis.org/cmo/press-releases/repository/2011-04-26.cfm) throughout May.
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada's capital claims the highest percentage of bike commuters in the country, if not the continent (http://ottawastart.com/bike.php). Its 170 km of paths make it easy to get from point A to B, though two-wheeled traffic is sure to drop between December and March. Visit the City of Ottawa website (http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/onthemove/travelwise/cycling/index_en.html) for more.
Portland, Oregon
You were worried there for a second, weren't you? No, we haven't forgotten what most people consider the bike capital of the U.S. The only thing as impressive as Portland's bicycle infrastructure (including a 260-mile network) and commuter stats (almost 10%, the highest in the country) is the camaraderie of its cyclist community (http://www.portlandcycling.net/default.asp).
San Francisco, California
The founding city of Critical Mass (http://www.sfcriticalmass.org/) -- mass bike rides that take place in cities around the world -- can't be overlooked. Over the past decade, bicycle collisions have declined while the number of bike commuters has nearly doubled.
Add city initiatives (http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities/bfc_san_francisco.php) like removing car parking to make room for bike parking, distributing "Watch for Bikes" stickers (to be placed on driver's side rearview mirrors), and its fledgling bike share program (http://inhabitat.com/san-francisco-announces-2011-launch-of-bike-sharing-program/), and you get one of the world's bike-friendliest cities.
Matador: 10 long-distance bicycle routes in the U.S. (http://matadornetwork.com/trips/10-long-distance-bicycle-routes-in-the-u-s)
ELSEWHERE
Beijing, China
Debatable? Sure. But I wouldn't call the city with probably the most bicycles of any in the world to be bike unfriendly.
The sheer number of cyclists necessitates some pretty sophisticated infrastructure for the travel, storage and repair of two-wheeled vehicles (http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2008/07/bikes-chinas-icon-thrive-despite-car-invasion/).
Cape Town, South Africa
African cities aren't the first that spring to mind for bike friendliness, but Cape Town is doing its best (http://www.mediaclubsouthafrica.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=782:ben141008&catid=44:developmentnews&Itemid=111) to change that.
The South African hub is committed to creating cycling lanes, dedicated bike parking and public commuter showers.
Bogotá, Colombia
Bogotá's transportation initiatives have been a model for change throughout Latin America, and its treatment of bicycles is no exception. Miles of safe, segregated bike paths and Sunday Ciclovía events (where main thoroughfares are closed to cars) make Colombian cyclists very happy.
Perth, Australia
With more than 700 km of bike routes and plenty to see along them, Australia's fourth largest city takes it for Down Under. Find maps, recommended rides and other cycling resources on the Perth Bike Maps (http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/cycling/14679.asp) webpage.

Kenguy June 8th, 2011, 07:14 PM Quick question: How much did the North African urban light rail/trams cost in USD to set up?
xAbd0o June 8th, 2011, 08:16 PM If I'm not mistaken, the one in rabat is 2 lines and it's a 500million USD investment. Moroccans can confirm.
I.M Boring June 8th, 2011, 08:43 PM Great! That doesn't sound like too much of a stretch for the infrastructure budget for this year, does it Kenguy?
@xAbd0o Is the 500m$ inclusive of labor costs?
xAbd0o June 8th, 2011, 08:59 PM No Idea, are even suppose to know these details? probaly and even if it's not included the project at most will cost like $550 at most. labor in Africa isn't expensive is it?

I think he is talking about RER.
@Xusein If you are talking about something like french RER or German S-Bahn system, then yes Casablanca will get one.

Snassni September 22nd, 2011, 11:07 PM Yes, that is what I meant. Great renders in that thread!
It's the one of Paris, but since Alstom will invest in morocco they could be the same.
There is already one Regional line between Rabat and Casa called Bidaoui but it doesn't use an exklusiv rail.

Casablanca already has one. From Mohammedia to the airport. And they're adding a new underground line. ;)

The Rabat one is the TNR. From Casablanca port to Kenitra.
There's also TNRs from Casablanca to Settat and Casablanca to El Jadida.
