No doubt Algeria is the most advanced tram country in Africa. It has reopened its two once closed tram systems (Algiers & Oran), and not only stopped after this, they are continuing to open brand new tram systems also (Constantine & Sidi Bel Abbes).

This is a thread about the recently opening Sidi Bel Abbes tram network. After some single line systems, this city first opened a junction line system. It is such planned that from beginning a three route network could be operated. Thanks to Sidi Bel Abbes.

Post as many as photos of that newly opened network.

Also post some text regarding the system in English, because both Wikipedia page and official website is in Arabic & French.

Thank you very much for the last two links. Could you say that when the south-eastern extension up-to Cite 20 Aout will be opened?

I think this extension is now on hold. ^^

Bonjour

A voir certaines des dernières photos, il y a quelques rampes fortes sur le tracé du tramway ?

Questions :
Quelqu'un connaît la longueur et le pourcentage de pente ?

Savez vous si les trams à Sidi Bel Abbes ont des moteurs sur les 4 bogies ("motorisation intégrale") ou seulement sur 3 bogies ?

Merci
