Getting around by streetcar Addis-Abeba

The streetcar network inaugurated in 2015 has two lines: No. 1 east-west from Tor Hailoch to Ayat and No. 2 north-south from Menelik II Square to Kaliti (via Merkato, Lideta and Meskel Square). In theory, the route is convenient if you want to get to the center without taking a cab. In practice, the line is ultra-busy, with almost 120,000 passengers a day for a capacity of 60,000. If you want to give it a try, just avoid rush hour and watch your pockets!
