Transportation process in Egypt

I am a bit depressed while I am talking about transportation in Egypt because I just had a bad experience. I took a bus
from Cairo Gateway station in Ramsis district, The bus stopped in about midway and the driver told me that the car had a problem and It is supposed that another bus will
come to take us. We waited for about one hour, till another bus came by chance and took us.

Sigh, There is certainly something weird in the transportation in Egypt. Let's approach some stuff in details.

1-Taxis : a lot of taxi drivers are greedy. they demand a lot of money. One should be firm while dealing with them.

2-The underground : It is usually quite crowded. but I think there is no problem from females as Females have their own carriage.
The UG also does not cover all areas in Cairo.

3-Micro bus, You must be lucky if you could catch any microbus. but if you could take the bus from the beginning of the line it might be easy.

4-Minibus, in Rush hours they are usually crowded.

5- planes, I think it is quite safe, good and quick for travelling among Egyptian cities.

6-private cars are stuck in the crowded street a lot of times.

7-walking on foot in Cairo is a best choice. It can be a kind of sport and transport.

I DON'T WANT TO FRUSTRATE YOU, I DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM MYSELF BY AVOIDING STUCK INTO RUSH HOURS.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL STRATEGY THAT WORKS WITH ME WHILE I AM IN CAIRO.

This was just my opinion. I might be wrong
