Casablanca - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
They are safe and very affordable. The taxis will rip you off usually, but to the cost of a dollar or two, and the trains are extremely dependable and modern. You will likely need a local language to use them. - Sep 2022
Public transport is a no no. Use "Petit Taxi" which are affordable and safe to move around the city (check that the meter is running or negotiation price before starting). - Jun 2021
yes - Feb 2016
Trains are pretty good around Morocco. We've taken it to Fes and Marrakech ($35-40/person/1st class). We are not allowed to take the city buses. Small taxis can be adventure (can hold multiple fares), but just make sure they use the meter. - Jul 2014
The tram is reliable, safe, and cheap, but has limited access/service. Red taxis are cheap enough; make sure you ask them to turn on the meter. Don't take the bus. Most people drive their own cars. - May 2014
Trains are affordable and run between many major cities. They are not always on time. Definitely pay for the first class ticket and get a guarenteed seat. The back cars can be like cattle cars. Petit taxis are also cheap, but make sure the driver uses the meter or quotes you a cheap price. The grand taxis go between cities and are very cheap as well, but they pack people into them 5-6 in the back seat sometimes. - Jun 2012
Trains - excellent and cheap. Taxis - run down but cheap. Buses - way crowded and not used by post personnel. Taxis are a much better option to busses anyways. - Apr 2010
Many people take the train to Rabat, Marrakesh, and Fez. Local petit taxis are affordable, but often do not have working seatbelts. - Mar 2008
