The Egypt government will soon begin the construction of the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lanes on Cairo Ring Road, which loops around Greater Cairo
Egypt’s Land Transport Regulatory Authority and the alliance of bus rapid transit (BRT) system on Cairo’s ring road signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to conduct the technical and economic feasibility studies on BRT buses
This study includes mobile units, stations, an electronic ticketing system, trip information, pedestrian crossings, waiting stations, and integration with other transportation methods
Orascom Construction, Mwasalat Misr and MCV will also be involved in the development of this project
The BRT system upon completion will meet the increase in demand on transportation when the Egyptian government moves to the New Administrative Capital (NAC) that is under construction 45 km east of Cairo on the way to the port city of Suez, and it would come in line with the renaissance witnessed by Cairo’s traffic hubs
It will also contribute to reducing traffic congestion along the ring road, as well as reduce the use of private cars and prevent microbuses from parking on the sides of the Road
The system will be integrated with the transportation network and future means of transport such as buses, monorail, metro, and railway lines, as well as light electric trains (LRT)
