Egypt’s Minister of Transportation Kamel al-Wazir on Saturday inspected work being done on the al-Salam/Administrative Capital/10th of Ramadan monorail, which is scheduled to start operating in October. These cover a currently operating third line metro station, a light rail transit station, the “Cairo/Suez” railway station and a Super Jet station, in addition to the “Adly Mansour/al-Salam” reciprocal bus station. The light rail transit station will exchange services with the third metro line in Adly Mansour station, the “Ain Sokhna/al-Alamein” electric train in the central station and with the Monorail of the Administrative Capital at the City of Arts and Culture station. The project line guarantees speedy transportation between Cairo and the new cities (Obour – Mostakbal – Shorouk – New Heliopolis – Badr – Industrial Zone and the 10th of Ramadan – the New Administrative Capital). Around 1,200 meters of railways were completed in the sector between Adly Mansour and al-Obour stations, he said, with 960 meters done in the sector between the Badr and New Heliopolis stations.
