Are women allowed to use the other cars? Do many do so in practice? Bhoeble 8 July 2005 15:15 (UTC)

Yes, they are. Yes, they do -- most particularly those with male companions (husbands, boyfriends, or just a gang of friends on their way home from university), but also unaccompanied women who reach the platform just as a train is arriving or those who can't be bothered walking all the way down to the first carriage. Matter of fact, I'm not sure the first carriage restriction is round-the-clock or just applies in the rush hour. Any locals reading this? Hajor 01:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

NO the first car is for women all the day but the second is only untill 5pm.In fact many young women prefer to use other cars.

The women only cars are there to provide an alternative to women who do not want to ride with men. The rest of the cars are open to everyone (men and women). The fine for a man riding in the women only cars is 10 Egyptian pounds.


The map and the article need to be updated as Line 3 is currently operational {HosamB, April 14 2006]

Hi guys, what's up?! does anyone has info about the costs of digging the tunnels, buying the trains, etc...?! i think its an important aspect of the article and should be added. So any info about this?! Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 16:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New map
