Continu And the rest is from North to South direction, which covers
16.9km. This will pass through Menelik square, Merkato, Lideta, Legehar, Meskel square, Gotera and Kaliti. The two directions will have a common track of about 2.8km.
The Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit will have a total of 41 rails each with a capacity to carry 286 passengers. This will enable the light rail transit to provide transportation service to 15,000 people per hour in one direction and 60,000 in all four directions.
