CNN highlights Cairo Monorail as Africa's largest step in smart transport

CNN highlighted the Cairo Monorail project, which is considered one of the largest modern transportation projects in Africa and the first driverless network of its kind on the continent, relying on advanced electronic operating systems. The eastern line stretches between New Cairo in Nasr City and the Administrative Media District, spanning 56.5 kilometers, and connects vital areas to reduce congestion. It includes 68 trains running at speeds of up to 80 km/h, capable of transporting 45,000 passengers per hour. The project is part of a broader strategy to develop infrastructure and diversify transportation methods in Egypt, with investments estimated at 1.7 trillion Egyptian pounds from 2023 to 2025.
