Another example: A big reason for the insane traffic in Cairo and Alexandria is that their transit systems are nowhere near extensive enough for the population size. With all the money being spent building new cities from scratch, some of that must be spent to vastly expand metro systems in both. To put it into context: Cairo metropolitan area and NYC metropolitan area have about the same population size of about 22 million. NYC metro area has: - Largest subway system in the world with 472 stations and 36 lines. - LIRR commuter rail to the Long Island suburbs with 11 lines and 126 stations - Metro North commuter rail with 5 lines and 124 stations - NJ Transit commuter rail with 12 lines and 165 stations Cairo metropolitan area has: - Cairo Metro with 3 lines and 84 stations …you can see where the traffic comes from
