Why Ivory Coast Is Constructing The $1.7 Billion Ambitious Abidjan Metro

- Ivory Coast Abidjan metro - In this video, we'll look into why Ivory Coast is constructing the $1.7 Billion Ambitious Abidjan Metro. Investment in Africa by country is at all-time high. Ivory Coast’s economic capital has experienced rampant industrialization and urbanization in recent decades. It is estimated that, every day 2 million people spend more than 2 hours traveling to work, using buses, mini cars and shared taxis. This is due to an inadequate public transport infrastructure that generates many nuisances: delays, pollution, security problems. In view of this, the Ivorian government has chosen to entrust, following a call for tenders, the construction of one of the first metro train systems in West Africa to the consortium Bouygues Travaux Publics and its partners.
The Abidjan Metro is a 37.5 kilometre rapid transit network serving the Ivorian economic capital of Abidjan whose construction started in 2020, with the beginning of passenger service expected in 2025. Initially planned to comprise a single line with 13 stations, undertaken by Bouyges-Dongsan, a French-Korean consortium, the project has since then been expanded to a single north-south line with 20 stations, financed 100% by France and built solely by three French groups (Bouygues, via its subsidiaries Bouygues Travaux Publics and Colas Rail, Alstom and Keolis), after the withdrawal of the South Korean partners from the consortium in October 2017.
Built mostly as an overground and elevated railway in order to avoid more costly tunnels, its automated trains with a driver present in cabin will be able to run at a top speed of 80 km per hour and a maximum frequency of 100 seconds. Line 1 of the Abidjan metro is expected to transport 500,000 passengers per day ( which equates to 180 million per year). Construction of line 1 is estimated to cost 1.7 billion US dollars, which is entirely financed by France via the French Treasury and the French Development Agency. The Ivorian government is planning for a second line of the Abidjan Metro, an east-west line which should run from Yopougon to Bingerville.

Thank you so much for the train construction in Ivory coast by Mr President ADO God bless you
Thanks you madam Fatou you looking so nice
Wow! This is an inspiring story & shows that there’s a serious government in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). Thanks.
Its not good at all,this is a Neo Liberal/Neo Colonial French project.France is financing the project by using Ivorian money in French central Bank to pay for the project,then Ivory Coast will have to pay back that money to France with interest,even though its their money in the 1st place.So its perfect example of Neo Imperialism gone mad with France.At least the Ghana Sky train project is being done by a South African Company,so money is circulating in the African Development Bank system,rather than money being sent to Colonial France.
@@lemigod4475
Ok regarding Ghana train project. But what about the rest of projetcs?
Gold companies, all Malls, Cocoa, building constructions???
@@lemigod4475are you aware that Ghana went to china and borrowed 60 billions to develop Ghana .is that money free ?or ghana will gave to pay with interest. In conclusion it is business
@@maxwellacka3455 At least Ghana does not have billions of dollars stashed in Central Bank of China,they don't even use China's currency.At least when Ghana borrows money from China,they are borrowing China's money and will pay back China's money with interest.The deal has its set backs but its much much better than the Ivorian deal in which they borrow their own money from the French Central bank,then pay it back again with interest,that is like getting screwed in the but and in every other opening in your body.So the CFA model had Colonial chains that need to eb broken,or else we will forever be paying France Colonial Tax.
@S E P are you sure ? Pls research well

Pour dire merci à la France qui a dégagé le pr Gbagbo pour installer watra.
Tout cela fait partie du deal.
The real budget was multiplied 10 folds (due to corruption). The loan used to develop the $1.7 billions metro could be used to industrialise the country and in doing leading most farmers out of poverty.
The farmers earn in average $200 per year. Modernizing the Agro-industry would multiply their revenues 20 to 50 folds.
The french financing is a TERRIBLE idea
We need to know mo
@Jay Theboss For a country like Ivory Coast 1.7 billion is massive amount! How much do you think their entire government budget is??
Exactly.... When i first heard the cost. I thought overpriced
Who benefiting,don' t have good roads and hospital getting excited over metro.your need wake up and smell a coffee
You kept saying France would pay it. Nobody just PAYS for something like that, without expecting something in return, especially not ex-colonial nations.

This project should be financed by ivorian government ,not France .
Is China not funding project left and right in Africa??? So what's wrong if France is giving out loan for this project?

The government don't have the money.
Africans would need to pay much more taxes or privately finance and build the project. No African engineering firm on earth is qualified.
Very nice to see this plans for Ivory Coast. I love the country and the people are very friendly
Rail is the best solution this will generate so much more money for Ivory Coast for long term and make the city that much more livable. I can't wait till I have my engineering project here.
CONTINUER D'AVANCER
Big up ivory coast, Africa move on!!
1.7 billion US dollars to extend and refurbish part of an old rail line in a country where more than 40% of people lives on less than $1 per day. Below the line of extreme poverty. How can you justify such an investment? Who are set to benefit from such investment in the long term? Where are sud-coréens Hyundai et Dongsan ven? Ivoirian need change and more control over their country. The opportunity to diversify their foreign investor and partner. 60 years after independance we now need a break from France and CFA (This monetary imperialism system control by France). The young generation want change, build their own insfrustures, we don't need what is called aid for over priced insfrustures build exclusively by French companies with ivorian suet and hard work for less 0.5% of the overall cost of the projet.
You hit the nail in the head.only the boule class benefiting
I share 100% your point of views.

All nonsense.
Doesn't mean shit.
All developing countries are doing now are building rail or road infrastructure.
A new road or bridge won't change education, poverty and crime.
Go Africa GO!
Good video. Well done noting criticism.
Every expensive metro system is sold as “will surely transform” but in a different form.
in Nigeria same metro will cost $10b
In Kenya it would cost $30 Billion and $28 Billion will go to the politicians pockets 😂😂😂
I'm happy from morocco with love ❤✊🏿✊🏽
The first point of correction they must tackle is putting at end to transportation of raw materials to Europe, by investing in manufacturing companies, with that they will afford their own finance to support projects like this. Because this trains projects sre the next route of looting African nations by the west. It involves signing of 100s of agreement with the exchange of raw materials. Wise up lovely French speaking countries.
Excellent video 👍🏿
Glad you enjoyed it
Avant de construire des métros créez plutôt dans un premier temps des hôpitaux biens équipés et dans la foulée donnez une éducation (conscience professionnelle) aux agents hospitaliers et médecins. La santé dans une société est très primordiale et n'a pas de prix.
Pour le quart de ce prix l'ile Maurice fait pareil..Et pour le même prix le Maroc fait un tgv avec 300km de voie...PAUVRES IVOIRIENS !!
Ce train est une arnaque monumentale... Le gouvernement de l'ex président Laurent Gbagbo avait évalué le budget à dix fois moins ce qu'il va coûter aujourd'hui.
Le métro d'Abidjan, cout: 1, 7 milliards de dollars= moins d' 1,4 milliards d'euros
Tgv marocain, cout 2,1 milliards d'euros
Le Tgv marocain est donc notablement plus cher que le métro d'Abidjan. En outre il a été financé pour 51 % par la France (remboursables ) sans parler d'un don de 75 millions d'euros. Le reste est fourni par l’État marocain et des banques arabes et françaises

Good job Africa !
Yo, don't make us believe that the French are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. They want something that will make Ivory Coast poorer.....oil or gold, or cocoa.
This project is lucrative for France.They are financing it by taking Ivorian Money that was deposited in French Central Bank,that money will be used to pay a French construction firm to build the massive project,then after that Ivory Coast is expected to pay back that money with interest,its complete madness for sure,this is the Neo Imperialism that Africa must reject coz its like modern day economic slavery.
@@lemigod4475 you , ghanian do not pay tax to UK , is your country developed ?

Don t forget that cedi is done in Ghana by a british company ( same case ) 🤣🤣🤣
@@franrichroday8663 South Africa does not have reserves in Bank of England,Ghana controls its own Cedi,they don't have money deposited in the Central Bank of England,they don't pay Colonial tax to Britain,if they discover any Minerals,they own them,they are not forced to give it up to Britain.We can't say the same about CFA nations whose resources are controlled by France,their Country has French troops roaming around and locals are not allowed to kick them out.So the French system is far worse,its Slavery.
Just go ahead with this project and neglect those critics, they are the cousins of the ndc political party in ghana and they think ,alike and always despise good things.
Congratulations Abidjan. But if you thought the French were gonna sit back from such a mouth-watering project, you were wrong. Look at how quick the South Korean company withdrew leaving the whole project to three French companies!!!
Question. Would it have been cheaper if they just went with the Chinese ?
France is financing this project 100% so they can maintain their Hegemonic clutches on Ivory Coast,they signed the deal with a French Puppet Alasane Ouattarra,so France can continue controlling the country.This project won't be ready for the 2023 Africon Gig,so they will have traffic problems.They should have build the rapid Bus system first,then build the metro train ,coz during the 2023 Gig they will struggle to move huge crowds.
Stop tell nosense please , if Ghana Can t do that it isn't the ivorian government fault .

You hit the nail in the head.who benefiting for it
Good job reporting on the topic. However it would have been nice if you would use videos or pictures of real transportation from the country... if not, just show the country or people walking... but not amasaman (ghana) green buses (0:23)... This could mislead the people who do not know the country.
Brovo Côte d’Ivoir, la China vous souhaite le meilleur.
All this big construction is not a smart move in Africa. We need to have priorities live creating manufacturing industries in order to become self sufficient, investment in public health, agriculture, heavy industry, education and so on
You might be right, but at the same time a fast growing 5 million people city does need a subway network to transport its workers and people around efficiently. You can talk about prioritizing but this is the way the go. Ivory Coast has had a 6%+ growth rate over the past decade or more, this will bring results soon enough!
I wish to develop the African countries to get all facilities in local people's like other country's..from Tamil.. good luck.
Are their criticism about the cost yes Tanzania has one of the best railway system on the continent along side the buses so is about transformation and beautification if so the cost of the project is peanuts keep moving Ivory Coast
Ivorian bus system was implanted since 1970s. The only difference is Tanzanian 🚌 system has specific bus lanes. I will said in Sub-Saharan Africa beside sud Africa, ivory caost has the best transportation system and it has been their almost 40 years. Their busses, ferry, communal taxi and even meters taxi well structured and organized. I believed the metro system will affect a lot of local transportation but it will beneficial abidjanais ppl.
@@bangalykonate6341 I agree brother sometimes we must argue and challenge our leaders so they can provide us with something better so you are right and I know Ivory Coast is one of the best in ECOWAS no doubt about that so be happy Africa is moving forward
Am a Ghanaian but I think ivory coast is slightly nicer than ghana 🇬🇭 in terms of infrastructure but ghana is coming up strong.
Lol we could have done better. Those infrastructure was built by Nana houpheit boigny the 1st ivorian president. Unfortunately, we never had a president like him since he died in 1993. Our current president is doing his better to bring back up ivorian economy and its infrastructures on top. Building as much school, hospitals even transferring the capital in yamoussokro. On the other hand, I really respect Ghana that have come long way. And I have been watching 🇬🇭 infrastructures as well they are gradually raising.
Not true.
When it comes to infrastructure index in Africa , Ghana is number 12 whilst Ivory Coast is number 24.
Make some research first before you make a comment.

Ouattara isn't only the best president in his country, but he is the best in west Africa for the past 10 years. I can ilaborate all the infrastructures he has builded in the short period of time. Unfortunately, we had three other previous president who fuck up the country until the arrival of Mr Ouattara.
In addition, we don't need a populist leadership in our African nations. we need hard working leaders. Leaders that don't spent their time pumping their chest or flexing 💪 the muscles while their have nothing to offer for their nation.

Undoubtedly a good and viable project & I have no doubt the quality of construction will be European standard but with d price tag, is it gd value for money?. Ivorians should find out how much is d French charging per kilometre to construct the line, how many rail coaches etc, etc, are they supplying for this project?
God bless cote divoire
Very nice I'm happy
Nice Job🥰
5 years for 30 kilometers that's very slow
Il n’y a pas d’hiver en Afrique, les rues d’Abidjan ne sont pas congestionnées, pas de réseaux d’autobus, 81% des ivoiriens sont sans emploi’ il est totalement irresponsable d’endetter le pays pour la construction d’un métro embu cieux et inutile et par dessus tout, continuera à coûter très cher pour l’entretien.
Quel sera le prix d’un ticket pour que ce projet soit rentable?
80 à 92% des ivoiriens sont sans emploi,. Beaucoup d’entre se contentent d’un seuil repas par jour. Où trouveront-ils l’argent pour prendre le métro. Beaucoup sont sans résistance. Les priorités seraient d’utiliser cet argent pour créer des entreprises et des logements sociaux. Cela permettra de trouver du travail et d’avoir un logement.
Ce projet de métro ambitieux est inutile et contre productif
Ouattara est in criminel, le projet a etait gagner par les chinois pour 450 millions de dollar et il a annuler le contrat pour le donner aux français qui ont multiplié par 4 le prix du projet...
Ca va, c'est offert par la France.
La jalousie va vous tuer même si vous ne l'aimez pas tu connaissais ce qu'il a fait 10 années de liberté Gbagbo était au pouvoir c'était le contraire
Any underground sections?
It is not a metro !!!
It is only renewal of old rails and train !!!
Ça serait encore mieux de faire des égouts de récupérer et de filtré l'eau.
1.7 billion is way too much with labor costs so low in this country somebody is ripping them off. There's no way their gdp does not match that cost of construction.
Tell them big time money grab
Why the government did not pay for it themselves, it just billion dollars, less than the interest France received from Africa money deposit in French banks.
Exactly,you have seen what I have observed that this project is a disguised money making scheme for the French Central Bank.Emmanuel Macron who is a former Banker himself,signed this project with his puppet Ouattarra,so obviously that is already fishy for sure.Its another excuse for French central Bank to continue raking in Billions from Africa,its pathetic.
@@lemigod4475 the are using our money, interest rate the collect from our deposit in their bank. The African leaders must go.
Why can’t Ivory Coast finance its own railway? I don’t trust France. 😒 Ivory Coast can tailor it’s rail system similar to Japan and Seoul South Korea.
Korean didnt withdraw french kick them out of the project. The cost went from 600s something billion xof to 1100s something billion xof. Korean metro made was way cheaper. It is not good , if you heard the condition of the loan of his project it is not good for the country.
sans parler des collosales indemnites de retrait. tt cela en plein choix electoral. Ca pue le deal!
Is the metro gonna be released on January 1 2025 or Janaury 1 2024 to 2025
Also will there be any underground stations?
Born in ivory coast.ivory coast need better roads,hospital,youth centers,housings
HALLELUJAH
Why is this ambitious? Its just a standard railway
1:08 why are you giving your money to French?
Stop misleading people. There’s a metro train system in Abuja Nigeria since 2016...
You mean the train system costing 1000 naira by ticket and that is very slow .
God bless President Alassane outtara
France doesn't have 1.7 Billions Dollars. This must be a another francafrique swindle.
Before they build this metro, the government should build a clean system for toilet bowls, clean flushing water after pooping. Thousands of household still have people poop in ditched hole without flushing water. The poop will remain there for months. It's so dirty and bring diseases to the people in the hot weather.
Why such projects not funded by the african union not france ?!
Colonized

I stopped watching when I saw financed by France
I am familiar with animals of Africa through Discovery channel and National Geographic Channel. Also in childhood I had seen many films centered around Animals. I think development will destroy the animal world of Africa.
Ne vous faites pas avoir par des projets qui n'ont de réalité que sur maquette. Ali Bongo était un grand fan de projets grandieux que sur maquette. Le financement de ce projet est réel mais son début de réalisation inexistant sur le terrain.
