16 february 2010 - Cairo, Egypt - Atef el Sadat Square: Some pictures today of the former Cairo tramways, which suffered a long and painful death, killed off by a combination of murderous road traffic and extensions to the metro system. Here is a Kinki Sharyo two car train running along a section of reserved track on the edge of Heliopolis. These once private tracks were nearly all swallowed up to make more roads. The large fleet of Kinki Sharyo trams was built here from imported parts in 1978 and was quite broken by the time I visited.

16 february 2010 - Cairo, Egypt - al Sayyid Al Mirghani: Kinki Sharyo tram #6033 again on the busy tram service through Heliopolis, where a frequent service gave the impression that the trams here still had a future. All was not well, however, and the whole system was shut down within the next few years. Although the reserved tracks were almost entirely in the centre of wide, dual carriageway roads the frequent junctions had no protection or priority for trams, which had to force their way across through the suicidal traffic (all sounding their horns continuously and refusing to give way).
