Algiers – The Algerian government has affirmed its commitment to facilitating the acquisition of new buses for public transportation. Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport, Said Saayoud, stated on Wednesday that individuals and organizations seeking to modernize their bus fleets will receive the necessary support from the state.
Speaking on December 17, 2025, the Minister emphasized the importance of a modern and efficient public transportation system for the country’s economic and social development. He highlighted that improving the quality and availability of bus services is a key priority for the government.
“The state is ready to provide the necessary facilities for anyone wishing to purchase new buses for transportation,” Minister Saayoud declared. While specific details regarding the form of support were not immediately disclosed, the announcement signals a clear intention to incentivize investment in the public transportation sector.
This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on several fronts. Firstly, it will contribute to reducing traffic congestion in urban areas by encouraging the use of public transport. Secondly, it will improve the overall commuting experience for citizens, making it more comfortable and reliable. Finally, the modernization of the bus fleet will lead to a reduction in emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
The announcement comes as part of a broader effort to improve the country’s infrastructure and transportation network. The government has been investing heavily in roads, railways, and airports in recent years, with the aim of connecting different regions of the country and facilitating trade and tourism.
The move is expected to be welcomed by transport operators and the public alike, and further details on the implementation of these facilitations are anticipated in the near future.
