Algerian transporters have reached an agreement with the country's transport ministry following a meeting between national transporter organizations and ministry officials. The agreement includes three key decisions: the suspension of professional certification for 2019, a review of certification costs, and discussions on the content and modalities of training for transporters. This development comes after transporters in Tizi-Ouzou observed a one-day strike last week and threatened a two-day strike.
According to Samir Nait Youcef, director of transport for the Tizi-Ouzou province, the agreement was reached after a meeting between the transport ministry and national transporter representatives. The decisions aim to address transporter concerns and will be implemented in the coming weeks. Nait Youcef confirmed that the certification process has been put on hold for 2019, and costs will be reviewed. The ministry will also engage in discussions with transporters on training content and modalities.
The agreement may help calm tensions and encourage dialogue between transporters and the government. Transporters had called for a two-day strike, but this may be averted following the agreement. The developments in Tizi-Ouzou highlight the ongoing efforts to address transporter concerns and improve the sector. Algerian authorities have been working to resolve issues affecting transporters and the general public.
On a separate note, the Tizi-Ouzou cable car project is progressing well, with the first phase nearing completion. According to Nait Youcef, work on the project is on schedule, with cable installation currently underway. The cable car cabins are expected to arrive at the port of Algiers within ten days and will be installed shortly after.
The Tizi-Ouzou cable car project aims to improve public transportation in the region. Once completed, the cable car will provide residents with a convenient and efficient mode of transportation. The project is expected to be completed by the end of March, with the first phase nearing its final stages.
The agreement between transporters and the ministry, combined with progress on the cable car project, is expected to have a positive impact on the region. Residents of Tizi-Ouzou will benefit from improved transportation options and services. Algerian authorities have been working to address various concerns and improve public services.
The developments in Tizi-Ouzou reflect the ongoing efforts to address transporter concerns and improve public services in Algeria. The agreement between transporters and the ministry, as well as progress on the cable car project, demonstrate the government's commitment to resolving issues affecting the general public.
