The Government reported concrete progress today on the President’s directive to import 10,000 new passenger buses, with Acting Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb overseeing steps that translate the instruction into on-the-ground execution. Technical teams outlined procurement sequencing, quality standards, and phasing plans to reinforce safety and service reliability. The measure is framed as part of a broader modernization push—renewing fleets, strengthening maintenance, and improving urban and inter-wilaya mobility—while keeping fares and access equitable for users. Officials noted that administrative clearances and logistics timetables are being accelerated to ensure a timely rollout.
