Egypt to raise metro ticket prices 100% in 2018, Transport Minister says

Egypt is planning to double the price of tickets for Cairo’s metro by 100% in 2018, Transport Minister Hisham Arafat said on Sunday. The new prices will be effective in 2018 to range between two, three, and four Egyptian pounds (0.112, 0.168, and 0.224 cents) depending on the number of stations the passenger would use, Arafat explained. The move comes just one week after Egypt had announced fuel and gasoline price hikes by up to 42% for households and another rise in electricity prices by up to 42%.
