The Réseau Ferroviaire Rapide is a planned urban rail system in Tunis, in Tunisia.
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 1 billion dinars.[6][7]
