Intercity passenger transport travel in Egypt, performance and problems

Abstract

The topic of this paper is Intercity Passenger Transport in Egypt, with emphasis on the impact of research and studies on decisionmaking and policy formulation. This subject is particularly appropriate at this time as we have recently embarked on a nation-wide transport study and some preliminary results are now becoming available. In many cases the results tend to confirm what was already known through observation and intuition, but it will now be possible to quantify and clearly demonstrate the points which previously could be made only qualitatively and through judgment. In other cases the results provide new insights into the many aspects of transportation.
