The Minister of Local Development, Mahmoud Shaarawy, said that the new increase in the ride tariff for means of transportation internally and between the governorates will be between five percent and seven percent on all internal and external lines in the governorate and between governorates.
He added that the new tariffs will be announced on Wednesday morning, with a list show in signs in all transport stations in a clear manner.
