The Transport Ministry has reportedly decided to temporarily assign the management contract of Cairo Metro Line 3 to the Egyptian Company for Metro Maintenance and Operation. Negotiations with France’s RATP over the management contract had halted, which prompted the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) to make its temporary decision. If negotiations with RATP are not completed by the time the second phase of the third metro line is inaugurated next year, NAT will review other foreign bids for the contracts.
