Sisi to open 4th of Cairo Metro third line

Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is set to open the fourth phase of third line of Cairo’s Metro on Sunday.

El-Sisi will lay the foundation stone of the connecting station of Adly Mansour, one of the major central stations that will connect the New Administrative Capital with all the country’s cities and governorates.

The station includes a full-service transport complex and a commercial investment zone expanding on a total area of 15 Feddan.

It will connect five different modes of transportation countrywide: the third metro line, the electric train route, a railway station, SuperJet station, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

Around 3.5 million Cairo dwellers use the metro every day. Launched in 1987, the metro has since become the most important means of transportation in Cairo. Female commuters can either choose to take the non-segregated cars or use the women-only carriages.

Within the 2030 Vision, it is planned that Greater Cairo houses six metro lines.
