Faced with the traffic congestion plaguing the economic capital, the Ivorian authorities are taking action. On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the Greater Abidjan Public Transport Network Restructuring Project ( PRRTC-GA ) was officially launched, marking the beginning of a profound transformation of urban mobility.

A structural remedy against urban chaos

The current system, plagued by chronic traffic congestion, insufficient service, and a lack of coordination, has reached its limits. Representing the Minister of Transport, technical advisor Kadjo N'guetta launched this ambitious project. The objective is clear: to move from a fragmented model to an organized, hierarchical, and interconnected network.

The pillars of the new architecture

Under the aegis of the Greater Abidjan Urban Mobility Authority ( AMUGA ), the PRRTC-GA builds on major projects already underway to create a multimodal synergy:

1. The Abidjan Metro: Backbone of the future network.
2. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): Strategic link between Yopougon and Bingerville.
3. Interconnection: Strengthening the complementarity between buses, water buses and future rails to open up peripheral areas.

Towards inclusive and modern mobility

For Romain Kouakou , Director General of AMUGA, this project is not limited to technical infrastructure; it represents a societal vision. The reform aims to provide Abidjan residents with a service:

1. Safer: Reduced road insecurity.
2. More efficient: Substantial time savings on daily commutes.
3. More equitable: Better service across the entire urban area.

"The transformation of public transport cannot happen without strong coordination between government departments, local authorities and private operators." — Kadjo N'guetta , Technical Advisor.

A collective challenge

The success of this transformation depends on everyone's support. This launch phase also serves as a platform for dialogue among transport operators and technical partners. By aligning these reforms with the Urban Development Master Plan , Côte d'Ivoire aims to make Abidjan a modern, competitive, and, above all, more breathable metropolis for its residents.
