With a total length of 22.2 kilometres, the Setif trolley line project is being undertaken by Entreprise du Métro d’Alger (EMA), which has subcontracted the construction to Alstom Transport and the construction company Yapi Merkezi.
Indra will supply ticketing systems for the 27 stations and four interchanges planned for the first section, which is 16.2 kilometres long, as well as the validation equipment for the first 26 trolleys of a total fleet of 39 vehicles.
Indra's technology will be used to process and manage both magnetic tickets and contactless cards simultaneously, speeding up boarding times. As an open system it will also guarantee interoperability, or multimodal management, by incorporating and integrating with the payment systems of other types of transport, and multi-operator management since different companies will be able to use the system.
