Ethiopia Addis Ababa Light Rail Train BEST In Africa?ft
Addis Ababa light rail #addisababatrain is the first light rail and rapid transit in Eastern and Sub saharan Africa. It is one of the best ways to move around in Addis even as a tourist. It is comprised of two lines running from North of the city to the South of the city while the other runs from the East to the West Of the city. It was opened in September 2015. The final cost to build it was $475m with construction taking 3 years.

It was paid by Chinese money. Then it is not the government but the strategic plan of the Chinese. And how much in dept is the Ethiopian state with another long distant rail line from the Chinese? Will it ever get paid back? Or assets taken if the state defaults? I remember that the state rejected European money to revive the old railway. And did a marvelous job to do what they did. Seems to be a change of mind has taken place. I am glad for the Ethiopian people to have such an asset. Future will show if you have made a contract with the devil and sold your soul.
The Editing is just epic, and the city skyline is dope.

Otimo ver Adis Ababa se modernizando , uma cidade história que foi o centro da luta dos Etiópes contra os Turcos , Madhistas e Italianos. O berço do cristianismo . Abraços do Brazil :)))))))))))))))))
Those are nicer trains than the ones I rode in Canada.
Thank you for the video I learned a lot about the light rails in Ethiopia!! 👍🏿 I hope that one day a big rail road system is built in the whole African continent. Africa has the potential to show the world how to build a car independent and envrironment friendly transport system. It is especially important since Africa will be one of the first places where the climate change will cause serious trouble.

Great work African Tigress for showing us African cities and people on your KZread channel. I just discovered your channel in January 2022 and I like what I have seen. I hope your tigritude is affable and you don't bite. 😀👏 This wonderful Light Rail transport system in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia should have kick started in Lagos, Nigeria with the Blue Rail Line running from Okokomaiko in the Mainland of the City to CMS in Lagos Island. Its a shame that paucity of funds, the usual corruption bottlenecks and a wrong successor to the Governor that started it, has made the project uncompleted, 13 years after construction began.
For what Addis installed a tram line, beneficial to Addis residents, Kenya is building a Nairobi overhead road system meant for cars! We will always be behind Tz and Ethiopia for the coming years! Looks like
