The move, in cooperation with law enforcement forces from the Cairo Security Directorate, comes as part of the state’s broader plan to reorganize and develop Ramses Square.

According to the governor, 12 microbus routes have already been transferred to the new terminal.

These routes serve major destinations like Alexandria, Benha, Sohag, Assiut, Minya, Fayoum, Mansoura, Beni Suef, Tanta, Mahalla, Port Said, and Ismailia.

The Ahmed Helmy Terminal, he noted, is located only a short distance from the previously chaotic sites.

Saber added that encroachments at the Ahmed Helmy Terminal in Shubra had been removed, and the site was replanned and upgraded to accommodate around 1,000 microbuses.

This comes as part of the first phase of clearing Ramses Square of traffic congestion and unauthorized activity.

The governor further stressed the importance of continuous monitoring to prevent the return of unregulated stands and to preserve the area’s improved appearance.

He also confirmed that street vendors and taxis will be removed from Ramses Square shortly and relocated to organised modern facilities as part of efforts to restore order and discipline in the district.

Ramses Square has long been one of Egypt’s busiest transport intersections.

It serves as a gateway for commuters travelling across the capital and to governorates nationwide, resulting in a notable and chronic urban congestion.

Authorities have repeatedly tried to impose order through clearance campaigns, but these measures often proved temporary.

To address the problem, the government has redeveloped the Ahmed Helmy Terminal in Shubra, just a short distance from Ramses Square, as a modern alternative.

Recently upgraded to handle up to 1,000 microbuses, the facility is designed to provide safer, more organized transport services.
