Lieutenant General Engineer Kamel Al-Wazir, Minister of Transport, said that we are working to increase the number of tourists to equal the number of the population in Egypt, adding that the express train transports 2.5 million passengers through two thousand kilometers as a result of the increase in speed.
And the “minister” added, during his tour with the journalist Ahmed Moussa, inside the Egyptian railway station, through the “On My Responsibility” program, broadcast on Sada Al-Balad satellite channel, today, Sunday, that there is a direct return from the production of the express train, which helps pay its cost, pointing to Egypt cares and encourages that its means of transportation rely on clean energy to preserve the environment.
He explained that the return of the express train is not only the price of the ticket, but also the size of its impact on tourism and the transportation of agricultural crops from Toshka, East Al Owainat and the New Delta for export.
And he added that the impact of the express train is great on linking ports with industrial and agricultural production areas and creating logistical corridors, indicating that there is a Chinese company that is considering exploiting Egypt’s assets in ports by management and operation only; And in partnership with the state, not by purchasing.
