PLANS have been prepared for the reorganization of Egyptian country bus services. Lower Egypt has been divided into six zones and Upper Egypt into four. Each individual zone is to be allocated to one bus company.
In addition, there will be longdistance desert services from Cairo to Alexandria, Cairo to Port Said, Ismailia to Rafah, and Alexandria to Sollum. The Government will have no direct control of the financial or administrative.arrangenaents of the concessionnaire companies, but will receive a percentage of the gross receipts. It is expected that specifications will be published next month detailing the types of vehicle which will be used on various routes. The bus companies will then be invited to tender for concessions.
