Monorail Transit Time Cut From 12 to 9 Minutes

The Ministry of Transport has reduced the interval between East Nile Monorail trains from 12 minutes to nine minutes.

The decision was issued by Minister of Transport Kamel El Wazir during an inspection of the line ahead of the new school year, with the ministry reviewing operations, station readiness and passenger services.

The ministry also directed operators to introduce student subscriptions for both the East Nile Monorail and the light rail at a 60% discount on ticket prices, beginning Wednesday.

According to the ministry, the East Nile Monorail is scheduled to operate 142 trips daily. The line runs from Cairo Stadium in Nasr City to the City of Justice in the New Capital and serves 22 stations.

Subscription sales are available from ticket windows at all stations during operating hours.
