Common questions about Trains in Algeria

What Trains routes are there in Algeria?

We sell 1984 Trains routes in Algeria, serving 81 places, run by 3 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

How much do Trains tickets in Algeria cost?

The cheapest Trains fare in Algeria is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 1,984 routes we sell there. The median route runs 130 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of Algeria by Trains?

44 of the Trains routes we sell touching Algeria cross a border and 1940 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Morocco. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Trains services in Algeria?

3 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Algeria: SNFT, SNTF, الشركة الوطنية للنقل بالسكك الحديدية. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Trains route in Algeria?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Algeria runs from Béchar to Tindouf, 722 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 130 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
