Metro tickets for the disabled reduced to 50 pt

CAIRO – 12 April 2017: The cost of the metro ticket for passengers with disabilities is reduced to 50 piasters from the current EGP 2, as part of the social responsibility towards them, Khaled Sabra, the CEO of the Egyptian Corporation for Metro Management and Operation announced Tuesday.

The three metro lines will implement the price reduction for disabled passengers only, excluding their companions, Sabra added.

He said that monthly and annual subscriptions for the special-needs passengers are the same, amounting to EGP 22 to commute through 25 stations for three months and EGP 27 for more than 25 stations.

The annual subscription amounts to EGP 200 for using two lines of the metro and EGP 300 for all the three lines.

Metro price tickets have been doubled to EGP 2 last month in a bid to contain the financial problems of Cairo’s metro service, which has some EGP 500 million of debt.
Cairo’s underground system is one of the oldest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Some three million passengers use the vital service daily.
