Network

In Phase I of the project, a 17.9-kilometre long (11.1 mi), Y-shaped network will be built, with 14 stations.[1] Both lines will terminate at a station at place de Barcelone; Line D will run to Gobaâ and Line E will run to Bougatfa. These lines should begin service in December 2015.[2]

Longer term plans call for five lines, to build an 85-kilometre long (53 mi) network centred on Tunis.[3][4]

Project

Tenders for construction were opened in March 2008.[5] The cost of phase 1 is estimated at د.ت 1,000,000,000 dinars.[6][7]

In 2016, the cost of the project was 2.8 billion US$, so the seventh most costly project in North Africa in 2016.[8]
