This figure, whose content is illustrative and not necessarily reflective of actual services, depicts before and after optimization scenarios. Under the before case, both bus (lower-capacity mode) and rail (higher-capacity mode) services are duplicative, providing competitive, rather than complementary, services. Under the after case, operational efficiencies have been achieved in that a feeder area for the higher-capacity mode has been established and served by lower-capacity modes with a view to encouraging complementary, intermodal operation. This is not meant to suggest that all lower-capacity services paralleling higher-capacity services should be eliminated; this is clearly not reasonable. However, some services could be optimized thus achieving operational efficiencies. 4 - 49 CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. III: CTA Transport Improvement Project in East Sector of Cairo Chapter 4: NETWORK OPTIMIZATION AND INTEGRATION IN THE EAST SECTOR Before Optimization Source: JICA Study Team After Optimization Figure 4.3.22 Conceptual Depiction of Bus Optimization Strategy 4 - 50 CREATS: Phase II Final Report, Vol. III: CTA Transport Improvement Project in East Sector of Cairo Chapter 4: NETWORK OPTIMIZATION AND INTEGRATION IN THE EAST SECTOR Considering these basic principles, the reorganization of bus network around Supertram Line 1 should include three core groupings: • Group 1: Local rerouting or extension of existing lines in the vicinity of Supertram station in view of making lines stop as near as possible to the stations thus facilitating a modal transfer. • Group 2: Diversion of some bus lines which are duplicative vis-à-vis Supertram Line 1. The route of Supertram starts at Ramses square → Ramses Street → Ahmed Lotfy Street → Sayed El Merghany Street → Khedr El Toony → Yoosef Abbas Street → Ali Ameen Street → Mostafa El Nahhas Street → Madinet Nasr (existing terminal) → Maspero and ends at the Ring Road. However, some bus lines serving local demand between stations should remain. The bus supply, which is competing with Supertram should be redistributed to others sectors which are currently not served, or under-served. • It should be emphasized again that more than 60 bus lines originated from East Cairo region are operating along Ramses street. Diverting some of them to other corridors is expected to reduce the overlapping with Supertram and attract more passengers to CTA on a high-demand corridor such as Geish Street. • Group 3: Cutting and rerouting of bus lines operating between parts of the Supertram catchment area and Cairo CBD in order to connect these sectors to the nearest suitable Supertram station whenever this will result in time saving for the travelers to reach the city center (optimization of the travel time for public transport users as a whole). Moreover, this will improve the service by redistributing the vehicle-kilometers saved in order to increase the frequency. The following criteria may be considered in addition to the abovementioned principles, especially when reorganizing broader elements of the bus network.
