Algiers, Algeria – Tram service between Kharouba and El Annasser stations in Algiers has been temporarily suspended, according to an announcement made by SETRAM, the company responsible for operating and maintaining the city’s tramway lines.
The disruption, which began earlier today, is due to a traffic accident that occurred directly on the tramway tracks. This incident has rendered the section of the line between the two stations unusable, forcing the suspension of service.
SETRAM issued a statement expressing their apologies to passengers for the inconvenience caused by this unforeseen interruption. The company assured commuters that they are working diligently to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
“We understand the importance of the tramway to the daily lives of many Algiers residents, and we are committed to resolving this issue with minimal delay,” a SETRAM spokesperson stated. “Our teams are on-site assessing the damage and coordinating the necessary repairs.”
While SETRAM has not provided a specific timeline for the resumption of service, updates will be provided to the public as they become available. Commuters are advised to seek alternative transportation routes in the interim. Further information and service announcements can be found on SETRAM’s official channels.
This incident highlights the challenges of maintaining efficient public transportation in a busy urban environment. DZWatch will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they unfold.
