The Egyptian media center of the cabinet denied on Sunday reports claiming that Cairo bike project will be canceled.
In a statement, the center said it contacted Cairo City Hall that dismissed as groundless the reports.
It said the project is still in place and it is one of the projects carried out in cooperation with the United Nations Human Settlement Program to ease traffic congestion.
It added the first stage of the project includes 250 bicycles distributed across 26 stations.
Users can rent a bike for EGP 1/hour and EGP 8 for the whole day through a mobile application or with prepaid cards. All bikes are fitted with a GPS tracker.
The Cairo Bike Project, which aims to reduce harmful gas emissions, was launched ahead of the 27th UN Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP27) that will be held in Sharm El-Sheikh this November.
