Free Transport
Free transport services are public and free, and they are provided by the Directorate of University Services at the University of Oum El Bouaghi. To facilitate student commutes to and from various educational centers, the National Office for University Services, in collaboration with the various university service directorates, has supplied 5,749 buses, including 3,524 urban and 2,225 semi-urban buses. In addition, the rail services are available in seven university cities.
Over the last years, the number of the buses has witnessed a significant increase; it has risen from 4,871 buses in 2021 to 5749 in 2022. This increase is attributed to the growing number of students registered in educational institutions and the urban expansions and development in some cities due to relocation and the construction of new urban centres. Moreover, the National Office for University Services has been providing one annual round-trip airfare ticket for students from the Southern regions. To benefit from the transport service, students must only be legally registered in a university institution and pay the transport fees.
