Egyptian Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir announced that his ministry plans to increase the volume of transported goods transported by railway to reach 25 million tons annually. He explained that this would represent five percent of the volume of transported goods nationally, thereby increasing the authority’s resources and reducing the load on roads. The Transport Minister also confirmed during his tour of a railway workshop in Alexandria that the ministry is implementing a comprehensive plan to develop the railway system. Therefore, he said, everyone must carry out the tasks assigned to them and be disciplined and vigilant, as everyone competes to serve the Egyptian citizens especially since the government has provided all the capabilities for the railway facility. This comes in parallel with the establishment of a network of express electric train lines linked together.
