Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber inspected the development work at the new Salam Microbus Station following the relocation of street vendors to their newly designated areas. This inspection is part of the governor's daily field tours to follow up on the ongoing development of the station.

During the tour, Saber said the development project is a collaborative effort between the Cairo Governorate, the Ministry of Transportation, and the National Roads Company.

Saber also instructed Cairo’s Cleaning, Beautification, and Lighting General Authority to expand green spaces, eliminate waste, wash pavements, and renovate the statue of the late President Anwar El-Sadat in the center of the area surrounding the station.

A large number of citizens were keen to meet Governor Saber and express their gratitude to the state for the changes it has made in the area and for eliminating informal settlements.

Moreover, Saber stated that random parking and illegal waiting will not be allowed in the vicinity of the new Salam Microbus Station.

Drivers will be given the opportunity to legalize their situations. He added that no encroachments will be permitted to improve traffic flow and facilitate the movement of citizens.

Saber further stated that the current actions being taken are merely a reorganization of the area, and no one will be adversely affected by it. The state has provided adequate alternatives within the Salam Station, which was established by the National Roads Company. This station includes 224 shops and has the capacity to accommodate more than 2,500 vehicles.

Governor Saber has also directed traffic police and teams responsible for removing encroachments to intensify their presence around the new Salam station following its operation. This measure aims to prevent the re-emergence of encroachments and unlicensed bus stops.

The governor was accompanied by Deputy Cairo Governor Mona Batrawi; Waleed Abu El-Nasr, Head of Cairo’s Cleaning, Beautification, and Lighting General Authority; Samer El-Mahlawi, Chief of Salam Awl District; and Mohammad Fathi, Director-General of the Bus and Microbus Stations Department.
