Giza Governor Adel El-Naggar announced an ambitious plan to replace unauthorized tuk-tuks with a fleet of small, modern, licensed vehicles to improve traffic flow and services.
The move addresses major challenges posed by tuk-tuks, including their tendency to impede traffic, the lack of driver data, and their negative effect on neighborhood order.
It is a small, maneuverable car, running on dual-fuel (natural gas and gasoline) with a long range (up to 550 km). Crucially, it will be officially licensed as a taxi, which prevents minors from driving and enhances safety.
Implementation plan
Phase one (Pilot): Starts in the coming days in Al-Haram, Agouza, October City, and Hadayek October.
Regulatory controls: A unified, fixed fare will be set, and each district will have a uniform vehicle color for easy monitoring.
Incentives: Drivers switching to the new model will receive financing programs and flexible payment plans.
The plan aims to ensure traffic discipline, safety, and uplift the governorate’s overall appearance.
