This appears to be an attempt to boost Misr Travel, which has suffered considerable financial losses in recent years. Getting the company involved in regular public transit will allow it to profit without depending on the tourist industry. Presently, Misr Travel has 150 buses sitting idle because of the slump in tourism, apparently, these will now be used for the new program, though we can expect, as tour buses are not designed for commuter transit, Misr Travel will likely be in line for an investment boost
