The Timeline for the Construction of the Afrail Express Maglev High-Speed Rail Network to Connect the Entire Continent of Africa
The construction of the Afrail Express Phase One is expected to employ more than two million construction workers by different subcontractors at different sites across Africa.
The construction of the Afrail Express High Speed Rail Phase One will begin in May 2024 at multiple sites in different countries and will start operations between certain inter cities by 2033, to connect major cities in Africa at a speed of 431 km/h, to transport passengers to their desired destinations faster and safer, at affordable costs.
Afrail Express is designed to offer business class and economy class, with each class to feature hi-tech passenger coaches equipped with stylish interiors and comfortable seats with cool features such as Wi-Fi, entertainment and catering services.
When fully operational, Afrail Express will serve over 600 million paying passengers between different cities and countries in Africa every week in the highest safety and performance standards, and courier over 500 million paid packages weekly, effecting a creation of the largest advanced industrial ecosystem development in Africa of more than 50 million job opportunities.
"We are going to witness the largest industrial revolution happening on the continent of Africa, which when fully commissioned, will enable millions of people in Africa to become more productive as they will be able to move around conveniently, whether it is for their education, work, business or pleasure," states Rachel Long, VP, Corporate Strategy at Afrailways AG.
The First Phase of the Afrail Express high-speed rail network will connect Cape Town to Casablanca via Windhoek, Luanda, Lusaka, Kinshasa, Lagos and Dakar, then from Casablanca to Cairo via Tripoli, and lastly from Cairo to Cape Town via Nairobi, Kigali, Harare, Gaborone, and Johannesburg, forming a safe passageway, which covers nearly 80% of the African population, all to be connected by Afrail Express Maglev high-speed rail network.
Afrailways has issued Cillar STO to finance the construction of the Afrail Express Maglev high-speed rail network, phase one, at the cost of USD $90 billion. Cillar is designed to serve as the central currency for the Afrail Express ticketing ecosystem, which is to help eliminate cross border exchange rates and fees when passangers in different African countries are to buy their tickets to ride the Afrail Express.
"We are developing Afrail Express to help Africa meet its Agenda 2063," adds Rachel Long.
The construction of the Afrail Express Phase One is expected to employ more than two million construction workers by different subcontractors at different sites across Africa for faster execution.
