CAIRO – Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli Monday inspected the underway implementation of the first phases of Cairo Metro Line 4, which is carried out in accordance with directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to expand state’s green and sustainable public transport projects.
The premier was accompanied by Transport Minister Kamel el-Wazir and Giza Governor Ahmed Rashed.
Madbouli’s inspection tour was attended by a number of lawmakers and leaderships of the Transport Ministry.
The Metro Line 4 is essential in terms of linking 6th of October city and New Cairo by the metro network, Madbouli said, noting that the fourth line would ease the transportation of passengers in densely populated areas like Al Haram, Faisal, Giza, Nasr City and New Cairo.
The Metro Line 4 is expected to transport some 1.5 million commuters daily after finalizing its first and second stages.
Meanwhile, the premier inspected the stations of the Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and Remaya, where the implementation rate of the construction work range between 34-42 per cent, according the transport minister.
Wazir added that almost 8 per cent of the restoration work in the vicinity of the GEM have been finalised, in preparation for the inauguration of the museum.
The 42-kilometre long Metro Line 4 comprises 39 stations, out of which 37 are underground and two are sub-surface stations, that are being carried out throughout two phases, the transport minister said.
