The importance of the project
• It is considered a modern, safe, and highly efficient means of transportation that meets the needs of citizens. It is also environmentally friendly as it operates on electricity and has a consumption rate that is 30% lower than other electric rail systems, which reduces harmful emissions and minimizes noise due to the trains running on rubber wheels. • It helps reduce environmental pollution and alleviates traffic congestion on major highways and streets, attracting passengers to use it instead of private cars to decrease fuel and energy consumption. • The East Nile Monorail serves the areas of Nasr City, New Cairo, and the New Administrative Capital, facilitating the transport of employees and newcomers from Cairo and Giza to New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital.
