Greater Cairo Metro Line
3 : |
| |
|
| |
The transportation study, carried out in 1973, suggested that
Line 3 should have a length of about 8.5 Km, from Darassa, in the east of the city, to Imbaba in the
west, passing through Central Business District and the densely populated areas of Attaba, Boulak and
Zamalek.
|
| |
| |
Because of the many changes that have taken place within Greater Cairo since that time, a new Public Transportation
Study of the Greater Cairo area was carried out between 1998 and 2000. These changes, which have included, land
development and transportation, the rapid increase in population, extended land use, the increase in car ownership
and the tremendous use of shared taxis, have made it necessary to update the transport demand model. All of these
have greatly altered the transport demand and have considerably affected the previous route of Line 3. |
| |
| |
The new route of Line 3 is therefore from Cairo International Airport, in the east to Imbaba in the west, passing through Heliopolis,
Abbasiya, Attaba and Zamalek. In addition a branch line will connect the main line from Kit Kat Square to Mohandeseen.
|
| |
| |
The total length of Line 3 will be about
43.5 Km. It will have
34 Stations. |
