The static transit maps can be used to address many customer needs. It is beneficial to include a map of the entire network on the inside walls of buses or other transit modes in the network. This map shows customers how to benefit from the system as a whole and not just the one route they are on. It can also show them where to transfer to reach a stop that is closest to their final destination.
If the transit map is given out or sold in a printed, folded and compacted version, it can show potential customers the benefits of using the system as a whole. Imagine looking at a way to get to the train station: Taking a quick glance at the pocket map will tell you which buses will connect your starting point to Ramses train station. In addition to that, it can also act as a marketing or branding tool for transit operator companies.
Finally, these maps can be accessed online by a much wider, potentially international audience. We routinely get inquiries online from tourists about where to start using the local transportation system and their search is limited to the internet. Having a publicly accessible map will encourage everyone who is unfamiliar with the public spaces in Cairo to take their first step in the local public transportation system.
