@geoalgeria/ferroviaire

Algeria's rail & urban transit — every station and stop, as data you can install.

692 rail and urban-transit nodes across Algeria — train stations, tram stops, metro stations, aerial tramways and gondolas — with bilingual FR/AR names, operator (SNTF / SETRAM / SEMA), line membership, GPS coordinates, and wilaya/commune linkage. A Wikidata + OpenStreetMap composite, shipped as JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON. Part of GeoAlgeria.

Operators (sources): SNTF (rail), SETRAM (tramways), SEMA/EMA (Métro d'Alger). Intercity bus stations live in @geoalgeria/gares-routieres.

npm install @geoalgeria/ferroviaire

import ferroviaire from "@geoalgeria/ferroviaire";

const all = ferroviaire.stations();               // 692
const trams = ferroviaire.stationsByType("tram");  // 190 tram stops
const inAlger = ferroviaire.stationsByWilaya(16);  // rail + metro + tram in Algiers

What you can build

• Multimodal maps — one GeoJSON layer with train, tram, metro, and cable-transit nodes.
• Nearest-station lookups — coordinates on every record.
• Network views — filter by type, operator, or network (tram cities, Métro d'Alger).
• Bilingual UIs — French and Arabic names on most records.

What's inside

| Type | Count | Operator | | --- | --- | --- | | Rail (train) | 427 | SNTF | | Tram | 190 | SETRAM (7 city networks) | | Metro | 41 | SEMA — Métro d'Alger | | Aerial tramway | 24 | — | | Gondola | 10 | — |

Spanning 50 wilayas, every node geocoded. wilaya_code is linked against the geoalgeria 69-wilaya model.

Coverage note: this is the node universe from Wikidata + OSM. SETRAM operates 172 tram stations across 7 networks; SEMA's Métro d'Alger has 19 operational stations (Wikidata lists more metro nodes, incl. entrances/extensions). Heavy-rail per-line status (SNTF) is not yet modelled.

Formats

import stations from "@geoalgeria/ferroviaire/data/stations.json" with { type: "json" };
// or via CDN: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@geoalgeria/ferroviaire/data/stations.json

import ferroviaire, { type Station } from "@geoalgeria/ferroviaire";
const stations: Station[] = ferroviaire.stations();

CSV and GeoJSON are in the repo under data/ and bundled in every GitHub Release:

data/
  stations.json            # 692 nodes (array)
  metadata.json            # source, counts, generated_at
  csv/stations.csv
  geojson/stations.geojson # Point features (all geocoded)

Record shape

{
  "id": "16-021",
  "name": "Place des Martyrs",
  "name_fr": "Place des Martyrs",
  "name_ar": "ساحة الشهداء",
  "type": "metro",
  "line": "ligne 1 du métro d'Alger",
  "operator": "SEMA",
  "network": "Métro d'Alger",
  "wilaya_code": "16",
  "commune": "Casbah",
  "commune_code": 1605,
  "lat": 36.7887,
  "lng": 3.0603,
  "geo_precision": "exact",
  "source": "wikidata+osm",
  "wikidata": "Q...",
  "osm_id": "node/..."
}

type is one of rail | tram | metro | aerial_tram | gondola. source is wikidata, osm, or wikidata+osm (matched within ~150 m). name may be null for a few OSM-only stops. wilaya_code/commune come from a nearest-centroid join against geoalgeria.
