How is the bus fee calculated?
The bus fees are structured to contribute toward the high cost of operating such a comprehensive transportation system; however, the fees will not cover all of those costs. The costs are driven by the number of routes; the number of buses, of different sizes needed; the frequency of the service; the distance of the commute on different routes; the high standard and quality of the buses; the experience of the drivers; and ongoing operating and maintenance costs. Other private universities in Cairo were surveyed and the AUC bus fees are within the range charged by other universities.
