# 3alaGamb

> 3alaGamb (Arabic: على جنب) is a free public-transport routing application for Greater Cairo, Egypt. It plans door-to-door journeys across microbus, minibus, bus, metro, train and monorail — including the informal, operator-run routes that are absent from conventional mapping services — and returns estimated travel time and approximate fare in Egyptian pounds (EGP) before the journey begins.

3alaGamb is built for people who move around Cairo by shared and public transport rather than by car. The core problem it solves is that a large share of Cairo's transit network is informal: routes are operated by independent microbus and minibus drivers, are not published in any official dataset, and are learned by word of mouth. 3alaGamb encodes that knowledge and makes it searchable.
