The Alexandria Passenger Transportation Authority is planning to issue tenders for 30 new tram cars this year, General Manager Ali Abdel Moneim tells Al Mal. The Authority also signed a USD 17.5 mn contract with a Ukrainian company to provide 15 new tram cars for the city line. In addition, several bodies including the Public Transport Authority are studying an offer from an unnamed Chinese company to establish a sea-land monorail connecting the two ends of the city on a build-operate-transfer basis.
