Fun fact: The Cairo Metro is the first metro system built in both Africa and the Arab world. It is also in the top 10 most used metro systems in the world!
Do Chengdu Metro please
For the next year's April 1st you can make a video of Omsk metro.
Next please Prague Metro system 🙏 🇨🇿
Government stated yesterday that Line 1 will be extended to "Shebien El Qanater"
I agree about how much used it is
Imagine taking a metro to the great pyramid. That itself would be an ultimate irony of the ages
With the Line 4 opening in 2024 (estimated), it will soon become a reality!
@@MetroLiner Moscow Metro pls
@@bolivia_ihatethisyoutubeupdate visit Metro Cucumber for that
@@nologic06 I know MetroCucumber.
This is what's planed actually
I'm obsessed with these videos. This is probably the nerdiest thing about me but I love seeing plans for extending metro lines and that they will ease congestiion.
New continent added: África
You forgot to add the LRT. First phase is 71 km, 103 km in total. Extends from Adly Mansour station(Metro Line 3), linking all cities in the east of Cairo, and ends at the New Capital.
Exactly!
Currently standing till arts and culture city(new opera house). I've been on it once and it was awesome, quick, a bit pricey compared to metro, and very modern
2:27 отличное название для станции 👍
XD
А русские что тоже здесь?
Кит кат это вообще отдельный район в каире
I used to live in Cairo. It would have been amazing having metro access to get to school in Nasr city. Always used to take the metro on Road 9 to get to Zamalek. Good times.
Nice to see Cairo in this. Cairo is a gorgeous city and it relies on its own metro system and roads. Very good video.
I hope Africa can get more metros in the future. Abidjan is progressing with its metro, and Lagos has had one under construction since 2009, but delayed constantly. Meanwhile Kinshasa, another megacity, is ravaged by wars, so sadly no metro for them😢
and Algiers started the construction of its second line.
yeah kinsasha-brazzaville r so terrible, they're so much need good governance
@@aaabatteries5576 Yep, Algiers also has a metro
@@justshitposting1305 The Republic of Congo tbh seems a lot more developed than the Democratic Republic of Congo
Addis Ababa has metro-quality light rail, I believe 🤔
Great job! Thanks from Egypt 🇪🇬
With the Cairo Monorail already well underway, it is set to become the world's longest monorail system at 101.5km. This will surpass the current holder of the title, the Chongqing Metro at 98km.
1:59 Error: I counted the number of circles (stations) on that line extension, it's 4 not 3.
Woah, Cairo's rapid transit system is planned to more than triple in size. That's pretty impressive.
It really isn't considering it's one of the most populated cities on the planet. Cairo needs to build like 10 more lines to stop all it's terrible traffic.
@@AsiaMinor12 That is why egypt is building a new capital which is about to open , will shift a min of 6 mil from the main Cairo
Ooh this looks good!
Edit: Just watched it! Amazing as usual!
Also, is Dublin on your list of future vids?
It's not that large so probably long down the list 🤷♀️
Please also make a map about Tehran Metro (the capital of Iran).🇮🇷🇮🇷
Impatiently waiting❤️❤️❤️
*me, bored* hm, does Iran have any metros/rapid rail transport 🤔
*me, googling* HOLY MOLY TEHRAN 7 LINES AND GROWING? METROS IN TABRIZ, MASHHAD, ISFAHAN, SHIRAZ? Now I feel a little ashamed of disregarding Iran so much 🥺
@@smb6995 Iran has a very good infrastructure and railway system.
@@simonjames9481 but it doesn't seem that way, maybe Iran is like a hidden gem of transportation
Tehran metro is constructed by Chinese company
Please do Medellín, Colombia. It was the first city in the world to implement metro-cables and it has the best transportation city of the country. The city has changed a lot in the last decades :)
Also has cool bus-only streets I heard

Yes would love to see more videos about Asian cities!
Istanbul add
And add Budapest, would be interesting to see development of very old metro network
Didn't even know Cairo had metro. Great video.
Six line in cairo
i strongly recommend you to do it about Mexico’s City !! Such an interesting subway system!!
The first line will be extended to be 63 km and the fifth line have been cancelled ..the 3rd line is connected with light train and monorail (200km)
Great video please do Shanghai Metro
Excellent video! But did not include the LRT line from Adly Mansour (connection w/ line 3) to the new capital opera (connection with the eastern monorail), which is under construction and planned to open by early 2022, is it because it’s a Light Rapid Transit line and not really a metro?
I wondered about that as well. If a monorail is included under the metro system then surely the light rail should be included.
the maps in the video are quite old , they are extending the first line by 12 stations north to shebin el qanater instead of the extension of the 2nd line to qalyoub (the 6 stations expansion of the 2nd line is cancelled). they are also cancelling the fifth line and the airport expansion and replacing it with shuttle busses. the 6th line is 27 stations not 16 , it wont end in el lasiliki street it will get into zahraa el maadi, qatamya and end in new maadi
Make one for Mumbai next
Currently it have 1 line of 11.4 km and monorail line of 19.56 km since 2014 but many are under-construction and planned
Heya, are you planning to do warsaw metro soon? It whouldnt take long, there is only 2 lines and 3rd is being bulit
I very like this video. In future please Praha's / Prague's metro.
i knew that cairo had only two lines for a long time.
if you are allowing suggestion, please make a video about osaka metro next
I love Your video. can you do the Kuala Lumpur version?
I would love for you to do one on the Philadelphia SEPTA and NJ PATCO Lines that run over the City of Brotherly and Sisterly Love
Please take Moscow,Istanbul,Kiev,Minsk,Warshawa,Praha,Tashkent,Baku
"Metro Cucumber" on CZcams did Moscow, St Petersburg, Kyiv, Minsk, Toshkent and some other Russian cities, but the videos are in Russian
@@smb6995 no, he was waiting for metro liner's vids. metro liner will upload a vid of history of moscow metro
How many infill stations do you want?
Kairo: YES
LOL. thats why they cancelled the 5th line
@@rowantharwat9195 it's actually not canceled. They decided to make a bus line instead of the metro since it is a lot cheaper. They are doing the bus line on the bridge called ring road. they expanded that road and built multiple lanes in the middle only for busses, which will save commuters a lot of time and cancel all of the illegal minibus drivers.
@@aminelkasaby1021 but the brt shouldnot replace the metro, the brt's route is on the ring road not inside of those neighbrhoods. they didn't cancel some metro stations that the brt reaches as well like zahraa el maadi
@@rowantharwat9195 the main reason is because it's cheaper that way
Istanbul!!! It has a lot of lines and not only metro but also streetcar and commute train. It would be epic, watching how everything started and what the future plans for the city’s public transportation will look like.
And cairo
Which site did you use to make the video?
Thank you for listening
The map of Cairo on the Schwandl homepage has an incorrect colour scheme where line 1 was red and line 2 was orange. The correct colour scheme is line 1 is blue and line 2 is red...
Please do the Toronto metro(TTC)
I really hope you can do Manila next. Thanks!
good video Buenos Aires Underground Railway pliss
Can Rotterdam and/or Amsterdam have a video in the near future?
That's pretty terrible, for its density and size
Yes, Cairo has almost 30 million people in the metropolitan area, it should have already at least 10 lines
Also, it's not as if Egypt is very poor, it's as rich per capita as China, but if this was a Chinese city, it would have had at least 20 lines and 400 stations
@@alezar2035 the plans are extensive though, let's hope they'll be realised, it's good they have any mass rail transport
Using the Cairo metro is a nightmare. It is way too overcrowded. We always just call my uncle when we visit family members during vacations.
@@haroeneissa790 exactly, it has too few lines
Cairo is carrying the weight of a 20 line city with 10 line demand (assuming it's so bad less people use it) with 3 lines
Alexandria and Cairo should aggressively expand the metro systems, they need to at least increase 5 times in length
Also, more metro means less traffic
@@alezar2035 the Cairo metro is still a really good option compared to the other options because driving in the city as a foreigner is almost impossible. The car traffic in Cairo is a lawless anarchy and crossing the street at most places in the city is a death sentence. Furthermore the city is extremely poluted and all the major roads are almost always completely gridlocked. The Cairo metro really needs to expand in order to decrease the amount of traffic because the current amount of car traffic is destroying the city when looking at smog, traffic jams, crossing the roads, noise pollution etc.
Next you do Kuala Lumpur
updates:
line 6 would be 27 stations not 16
the link to the airport is cancelled , replaced by shuttle busses
line 5 is cancelled (shelved)
but why? i'd much rather replace the lower capacity monorail, brt and lrt lines with the high capacity metro lines that cairo and alexandria are long overdue for.
another update, they are cancelling the 6 station expansion the second line to qalyoub and replacing it with a 12 station expansion of the first line to shebin el qanater
@@zombieat the LRT in egypt is not lower capacity than the metro actually you can watch write LRT egypt and you will see it is high capacity, but yes the monorail is. but the monorail is cheaper and will run in not so wide streets in nasr city, if you put a mtero there it will have to be underground and undeground mteros are far more exoensive and takes more time than the monorail
The BRT is different it serves 57 stations along the most important highway in greater cairo, the ring road. the ring road is very busy with busses and microbusses and the brt is for replacing those microbusses
If you're president, you've get a metro station named after you
Line 5 has been cancelled
Line 2 will extend to Shebin Al Qanater instead of Qalyub
Airport link has been cancelled
Hi, can you tell me how you make these videos?

The fifth line of the Cairo metro has been canceled due to lack of economic viability

yes, mubarak was changed to al shohadaa post 25th of january revolution to also commemorate those who were killed in the revolution.
Please next video would be milan 🇮🇹
Can you do Algiers metro system pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? thankkkks and (also the upciming expansion)
Why didn't you make Vienna's surface (S-Bahn) system together with the underground (U-Bahn), as you did with Berlin?
The main focus of these videos is to cover the "rapid transit systems" of cities (metro/ subway). However, making a distinction between rapid transit and other modes of rail transit can sometimes be difficult as the categorization is not standardized across countries. Generally, rapid transit has 1) short distances between stations, 2) high train frequency, and 3) runs on separate tracks. This is not a definite rule and a lot of systems fall somewhere in between.
Berlin’s S-Bahn adequately fulfills the definition of rapid transit and can be classified as one. However, Vienna’s S-Bahn fits more closely with a suburban commuter rail and is not included in the Vienna video. Again, these distinctions can seem unclear as there is no standard definition of rapid transit.
For your reference, systems that were included in my videos despite not being a typical rapid transit system are: Berlin S-Bahn, São Paulo CPTM, Paris RER, Stockholm Pendeltåg, etc. Systems that were excluded are: Los Angeles Metrolink, Madrid Cercanías, Vienna S-Bahn etc.
Hope this comment helped!
Please do Singapore
Istanbul please
Next//// Tehran, Iran😍😍😍
There's almost finished lrt system you did not mention
From Adly Mansour to New Capital via Madinaty
Those time metro wasn't needed because there are a lot of functioning trams
make map about Bangkok metro system please. I will wait
Attaba kitkat is done
So let me tell you about the last updates: - Line 5 is cancelled and replaced with BRT on the ring road - Line 3 extension to Cairo airport is cancelled - a new extension for line 1 will be constructed from (new el Marg station) to (Shebein el Kanater in Qalubia Governorate) with 19km and new 12 stations - No news till now about an extension from (Shobra el Kheima) to (Qalyub)
Also The Extension From Shobra El-Kheima To Qalyub is Cancelled within a Years
I think Actually Also the Extension From New El Marg To Shebeen El-Qanatir will be Cancelled because their are Many Buildings in Front of New El-Marg Station so How it will make it
there is a lrt in the cairo new towns
Yet another country wants to build a monorail because it sounds cool and futuristic. So sorry, Egypt, it's a terrible idea.
Why?
@@linusfotograf because it is in no way better than modern light metro, but it is more complex and more expensive to maintain. Trains are often bespoke, infrastructure required is larger, especially when the loading factor is accounted for. There is not need for monorail if you have enough space and you don't need to climb hills
@@ramzanninety-five3639 I see. I prefer everything going underground also. Takes up less space for other things
@@linusfotograf it makes projects unnecessary expensive, especially for countries that have dense cities but limited budgets. Even wealthy countries should build more transit above ground, given the ridiculous construction costs
Underground is actually quite expensive more than monorails, and if you see the areas the monorails serve you would see that the streets are not actually that wide and the monorail is good for them
pls Turkey
なんとも使い辛い路線図が良く解るよ
Please do algiers metro
Please can you do
广州
深圳
南京
长春
AND
乌鲁木齐
No plans to connect the two monorails? Considering that those are the lines reaching out to the stations where the planned HSR will stop (no central Cairo station!) it'd be good to have direct access to central Cairo from them.
There is a plan I think. That's why they conspicuously end in random places.
Both are connected by the metro system, so they are already connected
@@amrsamy2578 Via transfers, yes. Which is very different from via a direct transfer, and even more different from being a single through-line.
People will not use them as part of the same journey anywhere near as much as if they were part of the same line, and also distinctly fewer journeys that use both monorails than if they had a direct transfer.
Urban rail transit lines can't be planned like a road system since people use them vastly differently.
@@GustavSvard those 2 monorails are like 2 metro lines. They serve completely different areas, like the western monorail serve the most crowded parts in the 6th of october city (the biggest satellite city of giza governorate) and in desperate need for good connection to giza and cairo. The eastern monorail is to connect new cairo , cairo and the new administrative capital
You make Moskow metro
Can you pls do a video on the Oslo transit system, would be very cool.
Bangkok Please
moscow metro?
And New Cairo LRT ?
Make Brussels
Do they really have a station named KitKat?
Yes, because this station is located inside the city of Kitkat!
so let me get this gay: we have full congestion in old cairo city.... we have few metro stations. and then the country decides to create a multibillionaire city for the rich and politicians, instead of expanding the metro as a priority.... thats very very smart no doubt!! and of course the monorail the rich wont use it. the poor workers will use them to come and go to the old city where the poor still live in the same conditions... that is NOT what i want for cairo citizens!! they deserve better. as we all do!!
We have a really good metro system and you are saying propagranda
São Paulo city in BRASIL. ?
czcams.com/video/_yuRKkbeo5g/video.html
Kit kat station?
Kit kat 😳🍫
Yes, because this station is located inside the city of Kitkat!
🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
I think it's surprising that Cairo will have suburban monorail
