Bus Fleet Renewal: ETUSA Receives 102 New Vehicles

In a significant stride towards modernizing Algeria's urban transportation network, the state-owned Algiers Urban and Suburban Public Transport Company (ETUSA) has taken delivery of 102 new buses. This concrete step aligns with President Tebboune's ambitious national program aimed at revitalizing public transport across the country.

The newly acquired fleet comprises 32 high-capacity buses designed to accommodate 100 passengers each, alongside 70 smaller vehicles tailored for servicing the capital's urban and suburban lines. This infusion of modern vehicles is a direct response to the presidential directive to renew the national passenger transport fleet, which envisions the acquisition of 10,000 new buses through imports.

Supervised by the Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport, Saïd Sayoud, this operation is geared towards enhancing the quality of public service. The introduction of these modern, comfortable, and safe buses is expected to significantly improve the user experience for commuters in Algiers.

The rollout is not confined to the capital; similar deliveries are progressing in various wilayas (provinces) nationwide. The overarching objective is to "generalize and strengthen public transport service on a national scale," as stated in a ministry communiqué. This nationwide effort reflects a commitment to providing accessible and efficient transportation solutions for all Algerians, a priority that resonates deeply within the country as it seeks to improve infrastructure and quality of life.
