Casablanca ... catch a bus if you can!






Wahid rushes to take a bus to the famous Shark district in the far-end of Casablanca after completing his studies in the evening, hoping to get up early to see the bus, which may be delayed and delayed in the lesson.



Wahid is a university student suffering from a public transport crisis in the center of Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, due to traffic and a lack of buses.


Rachida is also suffering because of the transport crisis. She is married and has children living in Mohammedia and works in Casablanca, where she spends more than two hours on public transport.


Rachida and Wahid are just among the thousands who suffer from old green buses that barely meet the needs of the big city.


Although the tramway has slightly reduced the crisis, transport in Casablanca is a major dilemma, especially for those who live far away in areas that are not connected by the tramway.


The suffering of the Ovalans with transport will continue to the next year, with the suffering of buses for women, men and young children, in the winter as the rain storms the chairs of the old buses.


The fate of a deal between a Spanish company and the city council is uncertain after reports said the council would buy about 400 new buses.


The president of the Al-Bayda Cooperation decided on Thursday to cancel the call for tenders for 700 new buses because the results were not "fruitful" and the offers were excessive for two parts of the deal and exceeded the budget allocated for the third half.



In the face of this decision, citizens will continue to travel through the fleet of 250 buses, which are crumbling, until the temporary import of about 400 buses, ensuring the transfer of the Ovalans.



Since 1 November, Alza Bay, a subsidiary of the Alza Transport Group, has been responsible for managing the transport of buses in Casablanca for 10 years, which can be extended for another five years.



CCF is considering importing 245 of 400 buses from the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Poland.
