A collision between two trains in the Ayat district of Giza Governorate, which killed seven people and injured dozens, has raised questions about why railway accidents continue despite 366 billion Egyptian pounds being spent on upgrades. Preliminary indications suggest the crash was caused by a technical problem after one of the trains came to an abrupt stop. The number of accidents fell to 170 in 2025, down from 831 in 2022. However, data for 2020–2025 records 3,129 deaths and 3,777 injuries. Lawmakers and politicians have called for a review of railway upgrade programs and an assessment of their actual impact on passenger safety, noting that 98% of investment in the sector is financed through loans.
