“Mobile buses are cut off and public transport in Tunisia is suffering!” The crisis of importing spare parts and buses further complicates Tunisian daily life!

صحافة بلادي — The Tunisian capital and major cities are experiencing a stifling transportation crisis, which is evident in the long queues of citizens, students, and workers in front of bus and light metro stations, as a result of the disruption of a large part of the public transportation fleet due to the absence of necessary spare parts for maintenance.

Automotive sector professionals sound the alarm about the parallel market

The trade union chambers of spare parts dealers and suppliers in Tunisia confirmed that the complexity of import procedures and the scarcity of liquidity in hard currency led to the disappearance of essential parts from the regulated market and their prices to rise astronomically.

Direct impact on vehicle safety and economic activity

Traffic safety and economic experts in Tunisia warned that the obsolescence of the fleet and the scarcity of spare parts threaten the safety of road users and hinder internal distribution chains.

Available field data and indicators confirm that these rapid developments are being closely monitored by various institutional and professional actors, given their direct connection to the current economic and social challenges, and the continuous coordination they require to ensure the effectiveness of interventions and achieve a tangible impact on the ground.

In the same context, observers and specialists agree that the current stage requires continuing to value the gains achieved and accelerating the pace of implementing programs governed according to standards of good governance, transparency, and linking responsibility to accountability, in a way that responds to the aspirations of citizens and enhances the competitiveness and immunity of vital sectors.
