No increase in train tickets prices until service is satisfying – Min.

CAIRO - 4 August 2018: Minister of Transport Hisham Arafat said on Saturday that there is no intention to raise the train tickets prices until the service provided is improved and becomes satisfying for citizens.

The minister made the remarks during his inspection visit to the construction site of the fourth phase of the Cairo Metro Line 3, which stretches for 5.15 km and includes four underground stations and one above the ground.

The first part of the fourth phase is set to be inaugurated in December, he said.

In the same regard, Arafat noted that President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi issued directives not to hike up the train tickets prices before finalizing the development plans of Egypt’s railway system.
