Issues on Development of Transportation Services in Greater Cairo until 2020
The number of vehicles in 2007 exceeded 2 million with an increase within the past three years by about 120,000 vehicles/year.
The number of transportation journeys by all means of transport within the GCR is expected to exceed 25 million by 2022.
The average speed per vehicle will drop from 18km/hour to 11.6 km/hour (unless the projects recommended in the 2002 Master Plan and the GCR 2050 vision are executed).
Informal passenger transportation constitutes 54% of the overall
current collective means of transportation.
Execution of the JICA Transportation Master Plan in GCR and Accelerating Connecting New Cities with Collective Transportation Network
Development Vision of Means of Transportation in GCR until 2020Accelerated expansion of scope of collective means of transportation providing individuals
with comfort and saving the time of the journey:•
Constructing a 350 km network of subway lines (four lines) (and
the supertram
and tramcar) until 2022 with a total cost of EGP 71 billion, over 12 years (EGP 51 billion of which will be allocated for subway lines 3 and 4).
•
Extending the destination of the existing and currently under progress four subway lines, scheduled to be executed in 2022, to reach the Ring Road.
•
Managing high capacity 9 collective bus lines on the Ring Road, and number of key Axis connected to destination subway stations on the Ring Road.
•
Ending railway trips from the north to the south at the Shobra
El-Khayma, Imbaba
and El-
Moneeb
destination subway stations, together with constructing interchangeable stations, waiting areas, and supplementary services at the suburbs of the GCR.
•
Connecting cities and new urban communities through public bus lines in the first phase, until supertram
lines or electrified railway lines are constructed.
This will eventually put an end to informal transportation

Exchange Stations 6
Expansion of the construction of transportation and Transit Centres
in Greater Cairo Region until 2020
•
Encouraging citizens to use collective means of transportation interconnected via exchange stations.
•
Distribution of the heavy density of citizens flowing into Cairo
over more than one point instead of Ramses station.
•
Limiting the entry of private cars into the heart of Greater Cairo
