Tramwayn Launches Its Mobile App to Put Algeria’s Public Transport on the Map

Tramwayn has officially launched its mobile application, now available for free on Android and iOS, offering users a new way to discover, navigate and contribute to public transport information across Algeria.

In cities around the world, passengers can simply open their phones to find which bus to take, where it stops and when it is expected to arrive. Tramwayn aims to bring this experience to Algeria by building a comprehensive, community-driven map of the country’s public transport network.

A Map Built by the People Who Use Public Transport

Tramwayn provides users with detailed information about transport lines and stations, including each line’s route, its complete list of stops, and the different lines serving each station.

The platform also offers real-time bus tracking, allowing passengers to see buses moving on the map and estimate their arrival time at a selected station.

For users planning a journey, Tramwayn provides a trip-planning feature that helps identify nearby stations and walking times between locations.

A Collaborative Public Transport Map

One of Tramwayn’s distinctive features is its community-driven approach. Users can add missing lines or stations and correct existing information. Contributions remain transparent, allowing modifications to be reviewed, commented on, voted on and reverted when necessary.

Passengers can also contribute while travelling through the “Share My Trip” feature. With a simple action, a passenger can anonymously share their journey and help other users waiting at the next station estimate when the bus may arrive. The feature can be stopped at any time.

Available in Three Languages

The application is available in Arabic, French and English, making its public transport information accessible to a wider range of users.

The philosophy behind Tramwayn is simple: the bus line someone takes every morning may not yet appear on the map. Yet that passenger already knows where it starts, where it stops and how much it costs.

Tramwayn aims to turn this everyday knowledge into shared public data that can benefit everyone.

The application is available for free on:

Google Play — Tramwayn
Apple App Store — Tramwayn
Tramwayn Official Website

Tramwayn is an independent application and does not represent any official transport authority. Its data is contributed by users, and passengers are encouraged to verify information with the official transport operator before travelling.
