I can't wait to try out the new system the next time I visit Dakar.

[@quitalllester3367]

Having a train system across the continent of Africa would be great.

Congratulation the Republic of Senegal for being able to implement the first Africa electrified BRT system. Tanzania has already completed the firts three lines of BRT system, out of 5 phases of BRT system in Dar es salaam. Currently the Metropole of Dar es salaam is working very hard to secure the funds to build the very modern Metro System. The current plan is to have 7 lines of U-Trains in Dar es salaam, where by the Metro will be full capable of providing transport services in 24 hours.

Amazing! We will hopefully see a trans-Africa rail network connecting every major city on the continent.

It is too early to make judgment about BRT. How much is the total cost, and the fare is going to be

That means that Senegal had good roads but i know that Cote D'Ivoire has good bus mobility ...they have whatever BRT is ..Nigeria started...Other countries are in the act. But not electric.

Everything is concentrated in Dakar while the other regions are empty, there is nothing at all The ter is limited to Dakar the BRT also the embassies everything then the rest of the country are not citizens the BRT is for master KO the transport is mediocre nothing is going well in this country fishing problem

[@ibrahima6907]

The TER will be expanded to other regions sooner or later and more highways are being built

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA! This is Bilad es Sudan! Sudan reached from the Red Sea to the coast of Sene-Gambia. Call it Bilad es Sudan! Land of the Blacks. If we won't write our story, someone else will!

[@kadamawe1able]

Did Senegalese people do that themselves.or is that from France or one of those Arab countries, because if they did not do it themselves..I’m not impressed..when we do it for ourselves, then we can pat ourselves on the back but when other people have to come in and develop and set up our infrastructure for us..then who is reaping the major benefits yeah, especially financially.

[@loisjohnson-mead7304]

It seems to be a partnership with a Chinese manufacturer. Hmmmm

[@boggsbrown2544]

Shut up! European got their knowledge from Egypt and other African nation took them out of the slave ages. We learn and cooperate with other nations to build. Your pride is part of the problem.

[@boggsbrown2544]

Europe, Arabs, Asians have enrich themselves from African wealth. They should give back to Africa technology part of the reparations.

Make sense, Sénégal and Ivoiry Coast are both being built to accommodate European citizens who are massively moving there. Life is becoming too expensive for Africans to live in Dakar and Abidjan. 😢😅 I am not sure if I should cry or laugh. 😅😢

[@bertoforever07]

Senegal and Ivory coast are being built for senegalese and ivorian people. And since these people understood that sovereignty doesn't mean spitting "f~#¢k you" to people that can be valid partners, yes we are intelligently welcoming the whole world and our countries are improving. Just stick on your hate and jealousy.

[@listenup2882]

​@@bertoforever07You mean welcoming the very people who actively undermine African progress and who exploit African people and resources.

Remains to be seen if the electric system will withstand the conditions. These buses are like a greenhouse and have no windows, the aircon is gonna be blasting all day. And who will pay for new batteries in five years...

[@PaulNdiackSenghor]

Tu n'a rien compris mon frère

[@mrMacGoover]

Electric busses made in China? You can bet the batteries in those buses will over heat in the African summer and burst into flames when they are charging. 😅

[@cmartin5903]

Electric buses are lade in Nigeria and Uganda also. But i believe that they have a back up system. China is also i. some places hotter than certain places in Africa. Lets see how it goes.

[@trollthetruthand5458]

Maybe you should invent a super cooling system to help keep them cool 😎

[@mrMacGoover]

@@trollthetruthand5458 The problem is when they're charging, they heat up and are teetering on the edge of thermal overload...and when that happens they arc out at which point they burn like runaway thermite blaze and nothing will extinguish the fire... you just gotta stand back and watch it burn.

[@trollthetruthand5458]

@@mrMacGoover what about cooling containers or a box built with a climate control that keeps the whole battery from exposure of sun and heat while limiting the charge rate especially during the summer days. There's always a way you African are smart enough to find a way.

[@mrMacGoover]

@@trollthetruthand5458 The problem is they have charge quick enough to maintain a tight schedule so a slower and longer charge time would render them much less reliable than combustion engine busses, at this point... you would be better off using busses that run on overhead wires above main streets.

[@hizstory1813]

I'm not impressed with African making more debt with IMF and colonizers. Besides that .. Doesn't Africa have substantial lithium to sell batteries ? how does that keep the people who drive personal vehicles in "business"? They show shiny objects at Africans and their leaders are so quick to say yes. They are not thinking about the big picture. Only immediate gratification. This public model is more for the so called advanced countries more that thinking about what African need. I disagree.. not a good deal. and go into debt also? wow

[@trollthetruthand5458]

Africa can't go into debt with billions of dollars in resources needed in China, if anything the Chinese will be in debt or working years to win over African leaders sorry but Africa has all the shiny things.
