PlateauTec's PMS deployed to Bashtil - Upper Egypt train station

The Bashtil - Upper Egypt train station is a newly inaugurated railway station located in Bashtil, Giza governorate. It serves as a major hub for citizens traveling to and from Upper Egyptian governorates, aiming to alleviate congestion at the Ramses Train Station. The station is strategically positioned between Ramses and Giza railway stations, forming a junction for Egypt’s main railway lines, including Aswan, Alexandria, Imbaba, Manashy, and Qabbari. The station is built over an area of 60 feddans, with the main building covering 31,000 square meters

It includes 11 platforms and is expected to serve 250,000 commuters daily. The station features 184 electronic gates, including 14 for disabled people, surveillance cameras, a multi-story parking lot, commercial shops, and a shopping mall. The station is linked to various public transportation systems, including the West Nile monorail, the third metro line, and bus services on the ring road
