Cairo's transport policy has encouraged tremendous development of major road infrastructures, partial liberalization of the surface public transport network resulting in a considerable expansion of private microbus lines, and an extension of the bus network at the expense of the density of supply and of regularity, and without creating segregated lanes as recommended in successive transport and urban studies, amongst other significant developments. This report explores the influence of transport on the development of urban areas, and the consequences of such developments.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYAFFORDABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTAGRICULTURAL ZONESAIRAIR CONDITIONINGAIRPORTARCHITECTURAL HERITAGEAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE TRAFFICAVERAGE SPEEDSBICYCLEBICYCLESBRIDGESBUSBUS LANEBUS LANESBUS LINESBUS NETWORKBUS STOPSBUSESCARCAR DRIVERSCAR OWNERSHIPCARRIAGEWAYCARRIAGEWAYSCARSCOMMERCIAL SPEEDCONGESTIONCONGESTION PROBLEMSCONSTRUCTIONCONVENTIONAL BUSCOST OF TRANSPORTCOST PER VEHICLECOSTS PER VEHICLECROSS ROADSCROSSINGDAILY TRIPSDOMESTIC TRAFFICFARE COSTFARE INCREASEFARE INCREASESFARE INTEGRATIONFARE LEVELFARE STRUCTUREFARE SYSTEMFARESFARES REDUCTIONFEEDER MODEFLAT FAREHIGH FARESHIGHER FARESHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURESJUNCTIONSLANESLONG DISTANCESMAIN TRANSPORTMASS RAPID TRANSITMETRO LINEMETRO NETWORKMETRO USERSMINIBUSMINIBUSESMOBILITYMODE OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMODE SPLITMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESMOTORIZATION RATEMOTORWAYSNARROW LANESNOISEOFF PEAK HOURSPASSENGERPASSENGER FLOWSPASSENGER KILOMETRESPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER DAYPASSENGERS PER HOURPEAK HOURSPEDESTRIANSPOLICEPOLLUTIONPRIVATE TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESRAILWAYRAILWAY LINESRAILWAY NETWORKREINFORCEMENTRIDERSHIPRING ROADRING ROADSROADROAD BRIDGESROAD NETWORKROAD SPACEROAD TRANSPORTROAD TUNNELROLLING STOCKROUTEROUTESRURAL AREASSAFETYSPRAWLSPREADINGSTANDING PASSENGERSSTREET PARKINGSTREETSSUBURBAN RAILWAYSTAXI DRIVERTAXISTRACKSTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC CONGESTION PROBLEMSTRAFFIC DEMANDTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAINSTRAMWAYTRAMWAYSTRANSITTRANSIT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT AUTHORITYTRANSPORT CAPACITYTRANSPORT CONDITIONSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURESTRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT PLANTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT SUPPLYTRANSPORTSTRAVEL DISTANCESTRAVELLERSTRIPTRIP LENGTHTRIPSTRIPS PER DAYTUNNELSTYPE OF TRAVELTYPES OF ROADSUNDERGROUNDUNDERPASSESURBAN MOTORWAYURBAN MOTORWAYSURBAN PLANNINGURBAN SECTORURBAN SPRAWLURBAN STRUCTUREURBAN TRAFFICURBAN TRAFFIC CONGESTIONURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGYVIADUCTSWALKING10.1596/17704
