Metro, Roads, And Waterways
Metro services on all three Cairo lines are operating normally, though precautionary measures have been applied at surface stations on Line 1. The Light Rail Transit (LRT) is running at a reduced top speed of 100 km/h, down from 120 km/h.
Emergency teams have been deployed across roads under the Roads and Bridges Authority, with crews assigned to clear water accumulations and coordinate with traffic police to manage congestion.
All seaports are operating normally. However, river ferry services have been suspended in six governorates; Damietta, Dakahlia, Kafr El Sheikh, Beheira, Menoufia, and Beni Suef, as a public safety precaution.

Railways
The Egyptian National Railways (ENR) issued a separate statement confirming that train speeds have been reduced across its network in both Upper and Lower Egypt, resulting in delays on several lines. The authority stressed that the delays are outside its control and will continue until weather conditions improve.
&ldquo;These measures come within the framework of full commitment to the safety of passengers and operating crews,&rdquo; ENR said, adding that it is applying all necessary technical and operational measures to keep services running safely. The authority apologised to passengers for any inconvenience caused.
