Map of current and planned Cairo metro lines.

River transport – river bus

One of the most beautiful means of transport in Egypt is river transport (river bus).

(Maspero – Cairo University line)
(Abu al – Fada-Imbaba line)
(Al maasara – Al hawamidiyah)

There are also non-fixed-route Nile flights.
There are also end-to-end ferries.

Bus and minibus

Another world of transportation in Egypt and the first time you leave the gate of Cairo International Airport, you will find a private bus to the airport for free. It transfers passengers between all terminals of the old and new airport and terminates outside the airport inside a special bus terminal.

The public transport authority has two types.

(Bus – Minibus)

Public Transport Authority Bus

The buses of the public transport authority are of the quality of large buses and minibusses, and they share that each of them has a non-deviating itinerary that goes from one station to another station and has a non-repeating number.

Therefore, those who use this method find that they memorize the numbers as soon as they remember the number, it tells you this from such a station to such a station and passes to the following areas, and this is an experience for citizens that comes with the days.

The bus is large in size and has a driver and a ticket collector called (Masri).

The minibus is slightly smaller in size and has only one driver.

Minibus (Assembly)

There is a privately owned minibus, and the reason citizens call it the association is because there was an association that was the first to use it for public transportation among citizens.

And turned into private property and you will find the minibus is widely spread on the street،

Sudan, Faisal, the League of Nations, and the hero Ahmed Abdel Aziz.

Microbus

You can find minibusses everywhere inside Egypt and there are widespread parking lots, so we explain to the Yemeni brothers.

Service position or Microbus position.
Its advantage is that it is widespread and has a well-known route from one station to another.
Their price is affordable.
You can transport and drop off passengers in small spaces.

The taxi

The taxi is one of the oldest means of transportation, as it was white and brown, and the meter was outside the car, and if a yellow cloth was found on it, he would tell others that he was not working at the moment, and the prevailing term was locked (bonfire).

Today, the color of the taxi has changed, so it has become white in the capital, Cairo, and the meter is modern. Each province taxi takes a different color that distinguishes it from the rest of the provinces.

If you want to take a taxi, try to check the following: taxi number you may lose some of your luggage, with the taxi number you can reach it.

The meter gives its readers 0000 and if you install the meter opening fee is 7 pounds and you may find it 9, but if you find the meter has a previous number, tell him before he moves to reset the meter.

Uber – cream – Dee Dee

Well-known companies in the world and each of them has a special application that you download, specify your place, and destination, and order a car.

For example Uber determines from the application your place and destination, then it chooses you between a motorcycle, a car, or a minibus, and you are on the way, you follow the distance and the route through the company’s application, and when you arrive and the driver presses the end of the trip, the company sends you the value that it will pay you and the driver.

After that, the application opens to evaluate the driver and you choose whether it was a good fit, or bad, and many choices, and if you lose something, you can return to the driver’s information, his name, and vehicle number.

Tuk-tuk

One of the latest means that has recently appeared and you can find it in neighborhoods, popular and villages.
It is an unsafe method compared to what we have already mentioned.

Nevertheless, she moves through neighborhoods and narrow streets skillfully and easily.

Conclusion
