🇪🇬🚝🌆 Commercial service has begun on the East of #Nile #Monorail in Greater #Cairo, marking Africa’s first monorail system. Delivered by Alstom with Orascom Construction and #Arab Contractors, the 56-kilometre line has 22 stations, 16 now operational, linking East Cairo to the New Administrative Capital. The driverless Innovia system using CBTC GoA4 signalling has capacity of up to 45,000 passengers per hour per direction, easing congestion and improving connectivity across key districts. Journey times between El Moshir Tantawi and Justice City stations are reduced from around 1 hour 20 minutes by road to about 40 minutes. The project is also the first in Africa to feature platform screen doors. Vehicles were manufactured in Derby, #UK, with testing and commissioning led locally, with around 98% #Egyptian workforce involvement, supporting Egypt’s Vision 2030 and long-term #sustainable #urban #mobility goals. https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2026/5/new-era-smart-and-sustainable-mobility-egypt-commercial-service-begins-east-nile-monorail-transforming-urban-connectivity-across-greater-cairo

What verification means Verification means that two volunteers from our team – one from Gaza and one from outside Gaza – had a video call with the person/people listed here. During the call we: Spoke to them to Palestinian Arabic Had them show us around outside their home to verify that they are in Gaza (if their profile lists them as being there; we also verify Gazans who have been displaced to other countries and regions). If their profile states they’re in Gaza, we have checked they have an IP address in Gaza. Verification means that, based on the above process, we believe they are Palestinian from Gaza. It is not a character reference and does not attest to anything beyond this. How we can help If this account is unfairly limited or suspended for who they are – and has not broken the rules – please get in touch with us and we will advocate on their behalf and help them move to a safe server if need be. Please be kind 💕 Please remember that this person and their family are facing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid at the hands of the settler colonialists in Israel. Mastodon and the fediverse is one of the only lifelines they have to the outside world. So, please, be understanding, kind, and welcoming. #Mastodon #Fediverse #Palestinians #Palestine #genocide #ethnicCleansing @palestine @palestine@fedibird.com #verified #gazaVerified #Gaza #displaced #Arabic #Arab #ArabLanguage #culture #civilization #AllOne https://mastodon.social/@mahmoodhamod991/116488684339690862
