System map
The Algiers Metro (Arabic: مترو الجزائر العاصمة) is a rapid transit system that serves Algiers, the capital of Algeria. Originally designed in the 1970s, it opened in 2011 after decades of delays due to financial difficulties and security issues.[1][2] The Algiers Metro was the second metro system to open in Africa, after the Cairo Metro.[6]
The first phase of Line 1, "Haï el Badr"–"Tafourah-Central Post Office", which had a length of 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) and comprised 10 stations, opened for public service on 1 November 2011.[1] A 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) extension from "Haï el Badr" to "El Harrach Centre" opened for commercial service on 4 July 2015 after test runs in June.[7][8]
