Tunis Light Metro

The Tunis Metro (Tunis light metro, also Tunis light rail, Tunisian Arabic: المترو الخفيف لمدينة تونس‎, el-metrū el-khfīf li-mdīnat tūnis) is an expanding public transportation network for the Tunis metropolitan area that was started in 1985. It represents not a typical subterranean heavy rail service, but a light rail system. While once a number of African cities had traditional electric tram systems, all but the Alexandria Tram were discontinued. The Metro leger's modern light rail system was originally unique for Africa, but there are now modern trams in Algeria and Morocco, as well.
