Number of subway units in Egypt 2016-2020
As of 2020, the Egyptian subway running inside greater Cairo had 370 running subway units. This was significantly more than in the years prior. These subway units run in three different lines in the Greater Cairo metropolitan.
In recent years, Egypt embarked on several public transport projects to accommodate the growing population's needs. Among the changes were the removal of the Heliopolis Metro, the oldest in Africa, and the Tram in 2014 to make way for road renovations and the introduction of new transportation facilities. The most famous is the newest underground (third-line metro) and the two branches of the Monorail, intended to connect 6th October City, west of Greater Cairo, to the New Administrative Capital, East of Greater Cairo.
