The Light Rapid Train Project Adly Mansour ( El Salam) to The New Capital and 10 Th of Ramdan City Friendly cooperation between the oldest two historical civilizations Final Report Updating Forecasting Study Namat for Engineering Consultancy Dr. Mostafa Sabry – Dr. Hatem Abdel-Latif • In the transportation master plan of Greater Cairo 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 Ain Shams 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.

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). Egypt 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.
