Kamel El-Wazir on Transport Development
The article focused on Egypt's efforts to develop the transportation sector during the period from 2011 to 2026, with an emphasis on improving railway networks, urban transport, and the metro, as well as significantly upgrading the train and carriage fleets. Field Marshal Kamel El-Wazir, Minister of Transportation, noted that Egypt has increased the number of locomotives from approximately 700 to over 900, and improved their technical condition to exceed 95%, accommodating a greater number of passengers. It is expected that capacity will reach 2.5 million passengers per day after the completion of the electric train projects, which is a milestone equivalent to what has been achieved since 1856 up to now. Additionally, metro plans have been developed to increase their capacity to 7.5 million passengers per day, with the launch of the first high-speed electric train line scheduled for July 2026. The goal is to strengthen the transportation network and facilitate movement within cities, thereby easing transit and boosting economic growth.
