Réseau Ferroviaire Rapide


The Réseau Ferroviaire Rapide is a planned urban rail system in Tunis, in Tunisia.

Network

In Phase I of the project, a, Y-shaped network will be built, with 14 stations. 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.
Longer term plans call for five lines, to build an network centred on Tunis.

Project

Tenders for construction were opened in March 2008. The cost of phase 1 is estimated at dinars.
In 2016, the cost of the project was 2.8 billion US$, so the seventh most costly project in North Africa in 2016.
