RATP Dev, a French company, has won a bid for the management, operation, and maintenance of the Salam City/10th of Ramadan City Electric Train, which willl pass through Cairo’s New Administrative Capital (NAC). Wazir said that this is the second contract between the company and the ministry for one of the ministry’s projects, as the same company operates Cairo’s third metro line. He added that four Chinese trains for the project have been manufactured, out of a total of 22 trains. The project starts from Adly Mansour station, then runs parallel to the Cairo-Ismailia desert road to Badr City, then branches north to the 10th of Ramadan City and south to the NAC, extending all the way to the International Sports City. Services at the Adly Mansour Station are expected to be exchanged between five different means of transportation including the subway, electric train, the railway (Cairo/ Suez) and bus transportation in addition to the Bus rapid transit (BRT) system (Adly Mansour/al-Salam).
