[en] Confronted with great challenges to realize infrastructure in main Algerian towns, a great deal of supplementary effort should be redirected toward urban management nationalization., especially urban transport .By coupling a severe control on the one hand with big professional enterprises on the other, public authority in developed countries, the main actor in public service transport control, is doted with certain technical dispositions enabling a normalization such as transport plans, mobility and traffic plans ,by restoring organizational authority involving all the actors in the plan. However certain international institutions such as the World Bank, think that public transport liberalization is the best way out for under developed countries. The changes in Algerian urban transport seem to be adequate according to the World Bank recommendations, without this being declared officially, public enterprises are being progressively abandoned to advantage small private ones. Nevertheless, the greater Algerian agglomerations need to promote their public transport systems functioning due to the periphery space change dynamics and radical functions. In fact instead of involving all the actors in the process of decision making in this sector, such as the direction of public works and infrastructure, that of construction and housing, for localities or even users the direction was in the hands of only the direction of transport. Alone, this was confronted with great difficulties at normalization level owing to private management control of the field network and their imposed logic.Beyond these questions sometimes technical, a problematic one grew progressively, leading to a wider questioning on management of mobility in urban space. In fact the matter of urban mobility must be treated with thought on organization and urban space planning, by placing transport at the heart of urban management. The town of Oran really reflects this state whose spatial changes are the main vector of network change.

[fr] Face aux grands défis de réalisation des infrastructures dans les grandes villes algériennes, des efforts supplémentaires doivent être effectués pour tendre ainsi à une meilleure rationalisation de la gestion urbaine et, notamment, des transports urbains.A Oran, la mutation de ce secteur se distingue par l'ampleur des petites entreprises privées, le recul flagrant de la régie communale, le changement de type de véhicule utilisé ainsi que des tracés, mais surtout par l'émergence d'une nouvelle logique du fonctionnement du réseau, qui s'articule selon l'importance des associations et des syndicats de transporteurs privés.Par conséquent, la normalisation devient quasi impossible, car les entreprises privées contrôlent la gestion du réseau sur terrain et imposent leur logique.Ainsi, la question du choix technique devient la première préoccupation de l'autorité organisatrice (minibus ou autobus ? tramway ou métro ?), alors que les processus de prise de décisions, impliquant tous les acteurs (les différentes directions, localités et usagers), devraient être considérés comme prioritaires.Au,delà de ce questionnement parfois technique, la problématique des transports s'est progressivement élargie à la question de la gestion des mobilités ainsi que des principes d'organisation et d'aménagement dans les espaces récemment urbanisés.
