The Algerian metro has resumed partial service, with two additional stations now operational. The metro now runs from the El Mouroudine station to the Harrach Centre station and from the Hay El Badr station to the Ain Naadja station. This development comes after the Société d'Exploitation du Métro d'Alger (Sima) announced the extension of the partial operation.
However, some stations remain temporarily out of service, including the Jardin d'Essais, El Hamma, and Issat Idir stations. To ensure continuity of passenger transport, the Algerian government has deployed buses operated by the Établissement de Transport Urbain et Suburbain d'Alger (Etusa) to transport passengers between the Hay El Badr and Premier Mai stations.
The Sima company has called on passengers to understand the situation and cooperate until the service returns to normal. The partial resumption of metro services aims to alleviate the transportation challenges faced by commuters in Algiers. The metro is a vital part of the city's transportation network, and its resumption is expected to ease traffic congestion.
The deployment of Etusa buses is part of the government's efforts to provide alternative transportation options to passengers. The buses will operate on a temporary basis until the metro service is fully restored. The Algerian government has been working to improve the transportation infrastructure in Algiers, including the expansion of the metro network.
The resumption of partial metro service is a welcome development for commuters in Algiers, who have been facing transportation challenges due to the limited service. The extension of the metro service will benefit thousands of passengers who rely on the metro for their daily commute.
