West Nile monorail trial starts October
The Ministry of Transport has announced the commencement of the pilot operation for eight stations of the West Nile Monorail Project in Egypt, which spans 43.8 kilometers and includes 13 stations, from October New Cairo to Wadi El Nile. The project is among the most significant modern mass transit initiatives aimed at reducing reliance on private cars, lowering pollution and traffic congestion, and improving mobility. The trial operation of the remaining stations is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with the introduction of 30 trains, each consisting of 4 carriages, with plans to increase the number of cars to 8 in the future to meet growing demand due to population growth. The project aims to integrate with other transportation modes, including the metro and electric rail, and will comprehensively cover vital areas in West Nile, with a capacity to serve up to 600,000 passengers daily.
