• In the transportation master plan of Greater Region (GCR) (CREATS, 2003), two options have been investigated to develop a mass transit system serving the corridor. The first option was a busway, utilizing the middle of the Ismailia Road for an exclusive and dedicated busway. This option was abandoned as it will lead to increasing traffic congestion, and therefore decreasing the internal rate of return of the project. The most promising option was the use of the existing railway line between and Robaikey, with an extension to 10th of Ramadan City. A feasibility study was carried out along with a demand forecast analysis derived from CREATS model, and the results showed high demand projections on the line. Noteworthy is that the focus of CREATS study was on heavy-rail-based options; namely diesel-operated trains. 1. Overview

REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS STUDIES Existing proposals, plans, and reports were collected and extensively reviewed to enable an in-depth understanding of the transport system requirements of the 10th of Ramadan LRT-1 development. These reports included but not limited to: ENR Study, (Menarail Consultants, 2000) ENR Study, (HTA Transport Consultants, 2001) Cairo Regional Area Transportation Study (CREATS), (JICA, 2003). 10th of Ramadan Railway Line Project Traffic Demand Study (EGEC, 2008). East Wing Corridor Study, Final Report, (Dar El Handasa, 2013). Each of these documents was carefully reviewed to benchmark the results of our analysis and compare them to the findings of other previous studies. The following paragraphs summarize the highlights of each of the previous studies.
