Representatives of the French company Violia that is active in the public transport sector, declared the official opening of the Algerian branch commencing from the next week.




This company existed in Algeria as pilot branch for one year, according to the same responsible that are participating, yesterday and today, in association with transport ministry, in a meeting in Sheraton hotel about the public transport and environment.

The company will start its activity from the beginning of this summer through the exploitation of few urban lines in our country, and after that she will try to win the management contract of Algeria Metro and the Tramway. The company, now, is working in 25 countries in Asia and Europe and Australia. Alain Descamps, the president of Violia Algeria said “that our country is witnessing huge changes that allow her to get into modernity from its widest door, and this needs a transport system that matches this system in the big capitals in the world”.

The same responsible expressed his wish that his company win projects that it put its candidacy for. Through his presentation of his projects in Algeria, it seems like this company has received guarantees of its place in the Algerian market, or he is sure of his company’s capacities. Alain Descamps said that “you need expertise that Violia can provide, the company that is considered as the best company in public transport in Europe, and it guarantees the transport of 2 billions and 500 millions commuters across the world and through 5000 towns, and provides them with 26249 cars and 3259 railway cars and 55 ships”, according to the technical card that was distributed to the audience.

These figures mean that Violia is capable to take up the entire transport sector in Algeria, especially that it is supervising training courses for its technicians, even those who are candidates to drive the company’s cars without having driving licences.
