Luanda Blue Line Commuter Rail project

mou signed

The project involves developing the proposed 50-km Luanda Coastal Blue Line commuter rail corridor, which would run along the city’s coastline from Cacuaco in the north to Benfica in the south. Under the Memorandum of Understanding, Alstom and Angola’s Ministry of Transport will jointly carry out commercial, technical, and strategic feasibility studies to assess the line’s viability, define infrastructure needs, and evaluate the social, economic, and environmental benefits. The initiative aims to ease traffic congestion, enhance urban mobility, and establish a modern, sustainable mass-transit system for one of Africa’s fastest-growing capitals.
