đ Is the Abidjan Metro Really a Metro?
For several years, a recurring debate has resurfaced on social media:
đ Is the Abidjan metro actually just a tramway?
đ Or rather an urban train?
đ Does a metro necessarily have to run underground?
In this video, we answer all these questions with simple, illustrated explanations based on the principles of railway engineering.
You will discover the real differences between:
â
a metro,
â
a tramway,
â
an urban train (suburban train).
We will see why the future Abidjan metro is officially classified as a true metro, even though a large part of its route will be above ground and on viaducts.
On the agenda:
đ What truly defines a metro?
đ Why a tramway is completely different.
đ The characteristics of an urban train.
đ Why the Abidjan metro will use viaducts.
đïž The technical and economic reasons for this choice.
đ· Why the engineers chose a metro over a tramway.
đ Examples of elevated metros in several major cities around the world.
By the end of this video, you will be able to clearly explain why the Abidjan metro is indeed a metro and not a tramway or a simple urban train.

âïž Abidjan Metro
