Background
In 2019, the proposal for a light rail network in Luanda was announced, with construction proposed to begin in 2020. German transport company Siemens Mobility signed a memorandum of understanding with the Angolan government in early 2020 to begin building the 149 km (93 mi) network under a public private partnership.[2]
Network
The network is proposed to serve the main axis of the city; from the Port of Luanda to Cacuaco, Avenida Fidel Castro Ruz-Benfica, Port of Luanda - Largo da Independência and Cidade do Kilamba - 1º de Maio.[3]
