TramWayn Beta 2 Publications

Tramwayn is a web and mobile platform designed to make Algerian public transportation more accessible and easier to navigate by mapping transport lines and stops and providing information about routes, schedules and fares. The platform uses a Wikipedia-like collaborative model, allowing users to contribute to and correct transport data through review, voting and validation mechanisms. It also introduces “Share My Trip”, a feature that turns passengers’ smartphones into real-time data sources without requiring GPS devices or sensors to be installed inside vehicles. Available in Arabic, French and English, Tramwayn is already in production and currently covers 40 cities, 121 lines and 6,571 geolocated stops, according to the project dossier. Its long-term vision is to build a national reference database for public transport in Algeria, serving passengers, transport operators, public authorities and research institutions.
