        <div>Here is the Cairo Subway, Egypt.</div><div><br></div><div>"Greater Cairo" is served by three metro lines, with eighty-four kilometers of railway and sixty-eight stations, built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2010s. A project for three other lines is under study.</div><div>The metro is managed by the National Authority for Tunnels, and/or : Cairo Metro - The Egyptian Co. for Metro Management &amp; Operation.</div><div><br></div><div>One of most populous city in Africa and the Arab world, Cairo has been faced with the growing need to equip itself with a mass transportation system since the 1950s. In 1987, its population of ten million inhabitants was increased by two million people working in Cairo during the day but not residing there.</div><div><br></div><div>I choose the metro of the second line for the aesthetic about the colors. I've hesitated with the first line opened in 1987. The second line opened in 1996.</div><div>This line is the one who deserve Giza site. </div><div><br></div><div>Alstom built the train of the first line, which is similar to the French RER or S-Bahn for the year 1987.</div><div>Trains of the second and third line was ordered in 1992 from a Japanese consortium (Mitsubishi, Kinki Sharyo, Toshiba), and put in service in 1996.</div><div>I don't know the model or code name of these subways.</div><div><br></div><div>I think it's an interesting way to learn about urbanism through the 20th century of a country.</div><div>I built this to complete the collection of old subway's around the world.</div><div>I think it would make a great Lego set because the metro is something everyday and having a miniaturized version would be super cool and really cute.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your support.</div><div><br></div>
