Public Transportation Development

Metro: An integrated plan has been drawn up to develop the metro (first
and second lines), which is the backbone of land transport in
Cairo. The metro transports more than 3.6 million passengers
daily, being the fastest and most affordable means in Egypt.
This is in addition to the third metro line, which would become
the longest metro line in the Middle East (41.2 km) and would connect all
areas of Cairo to each other in order to facilitate the citizens' transportation.

High Speed Railway (HSR): It represents an integrated network of lines
that would connect all parts of Egypt together: represented in
the ports and their industrial zones, and the new developed
areas and the Administrative Capital. LRT's speed is 250 km/h,
and the first line would connect El Ain El-Soukhna, the New
Administrative Capital, Cairo, Giza, October, Alexandria, and
New Alamein, while the other line would connect the main
ports on the Red Sea with the Mediterranean ports, passing through
passenger stations and goods loading stations.
