Metro blames passenger valve misuse for Dokki station train halt

The Egyptian metro company said yesterday's train delays at Dokki station resulted from passengers misusing emergency valves, not technical faults.

• The Egyptian Company for Metro Management and Operation stated the stoppage was not caused by any technical fault on the trains or Line 2.
• Passengers' misuse of emergency valves halted a train between Dokki and El-Bohouth stations, the company said.
• Some passengers descended onto the tracks, prompting authorities to evacuate the line and secure it before service resumed.
• Spokesperson Ahmed Abdel Hadi Bekir urged passengers not to tamper with emergency devices or enter the tracks, citing danger to safety.
