Transport for Cairo - "Vers une plateforme de données collaborative et ouverte"
The document discusses the challenges and solutions related to public transportation in Cairo, highlighting the city's population growth from 2.5 million in 1907 to 12 million in 1991, along with issues of congestion and pollution. It emphasizes the need for improved public transit systems, utilizing new technologies and data for effective planning, to enhance accessibility and reduce health risks for citizens. The text outlines strategies to increase public transport ridership and modal share while considering the spatial and temporal dynamics of transportation in the city.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Opening Slide (Option 2) Story from the field. Use for presentations where you want to demonstrate the complexity of Mapping Cairo. "This is an Egyptian citizens waiting for a bus at an Informal Bus Station at Gamee’t El-Dowal boulevard in the Cairo Mohandessin District. Look at how there is not a single sign denoting this area as a station. This is a permanent stop, a bus is guaranteed to stop within the next couple of minutes. It is reliable." → Change Title
- #9 Cairo has a very complex & large urban transport system. "This is a brief overview of some of the modes of transport we find in Cairo. The level of formality of each mode decreases from top to bottom: From the government owned & run metro & CTA buses, over the regulated microbuses in their different forms down to the newly emergent Suzuki 6-Seaters & local community run mini-networks.
- #11 Story Slide - Complexity of Public Transit in Cairo (Slide 4) The Suzuki, or 'Tomnaya’. A post-revolutionary phenomena. "These little Suzuki vehicles seat 6 passengers and are as reliable as the London Underground. You stand at this spot next to the Al-Azhar, within a minute you are riding one and within 5 minutes you are in Attaba Square. This is an informal but permanent stop, and a guaranteed ride. The Suzuki’s have increased dramatically after the Revolution. They are an affordable investment of just a couple of thousand dollars, and provide their drivers with a reliable income stream. They are illegal, as they are registered as private vehicles and thus by law forbidden from transporting the public." → Very important to explain the explosion of Suzuki’s after the revolution due to economics.

- #14 Story Slide - Problems of Public Transit in Cairo (Slide 10) Traffic Congestion is a Problem. "Congestion casts a dark shadow on our beautiful urban cities. Up to 25,000 deaths a year in Cairo are attributed to air pollution. Urban Transport contributes half that! Approximately $8 billion are wasted every year due to time delays & reliability, emissions, wasted fuel and productivity losses. Poor transit services have for years been identified as one of the major obstacles to the development of Cairo’s new towns; vacancies in newer public housing unites in new towns commonly exceed 50 percent.." → Congestion is the main problem causing Pollution, economic inequality, and economic losses. This is where we start storytelling our Concept Note!! (Read the concept Note)
- #26 Story Slide - Problems of Public Transit in Cairo (Slide 11) Public Transportation as a right. "The numbers are convincing, but are they enough? Not really. The SDG’s state that “all people should have access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport by 2030." → Useful to introduce the rights-based approach Takween are adopting
- #30 Story Slide - Complexity of Public Transit in Cairo (Slide 6) The School bus. "This is a registered microbus, in front of Gamal Abdel Nasser School in the Cairean district of Dokki. You can clearly see the veiled girls inside, teenagers on their way to school from the popular Meit-Okba district 3km away. Here we see microbuses providing a working solution for a very real problems Egyptian parents face: How can my children reach school reliably, safely and affordably? Communities such as the one Meti-Okba pool their resources and hire microbuses which act as schoolbuses, and then go on their normal daily rounds." → Very important to explain the complexity of the situation: Ugly, but fixing a very real problem
