Problem Statement
The absence of a dedicated mobile application for the Cairo metro has resulted in limited access to crucial information and services for commuters. The existing outdated website fails to provide a user-friendly and efficient platform for users to obtain real-time updates, ticket information, employment opportunities, and other essential services. This project aims to bridge this gap by developing a mobile application that addresses the commuters' needs and improves their overall experience.
