Cairois known for its overcrowded roads, irregulardriving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. Inrecent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs ofimprovement. That’s due in part to the removal ofmany of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these datedback to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair. Afternew legislation demandedtheir removal from theroads, a low interest loan scheme was setup with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government paysabout $900 for old ones to be discardedand advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments. Theidea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditionedcomfort and because the new cabs are metered,they don’t have to argue over fares.
