For comparision, in Berlin Germany there is currently an unnecessary and deeply unpopular inner city highway extension being built. It costs about €300 million per kilometer.
It's easy when you only pay workers five dollars a day, work them like mules for twelve hours a day, are building in the open desert, don't need to do environmental impact surveys, and use cheap building materials and workmanship that starts to fall apart after ten years
Morocco is currently the only African nation with an operational high-speed rail system.
I would have thought Egypt would be the perfect country for high-speed rail, with practically all of its population living along one line.
Yes but fun fact, maximized corruption.
I was curious, here's the driving route on GMaps
This price is impossibly cheap even compared to other Chinese built trains in other African countries. Something must be off
Are they going to complete this one, or....?
