Morocco’s transportation system is as diverse as its culture. From modern tramways in cities like Rabat and Casablanca to the iconic Grand Taxi network that connects towns and neighborhoods, public transport remains a daily necessity for millions. Yet the system faces ongoing challenges, and in the face of rapid development and digital change, it’s time to ask: how can we modernize without losing what makes it uniquely ours?
The " Grand Taxi " Legacy
Grand Taxis are shared taxis that typically seat 6 passengers and operate along fixed routes. They’ve been a lifeline for communities, especially in places where buses and trams don’t reach. Courtiers help manage the flow, and drivers often make decisions based on route profitability and return-trip availability. While practical, this system can lead to long waits, uneven distribution of taxis, and passenger frustration.
Current Challenges
- Route refusals due to imbalanced pricing (fixed fares don’t reflect fuel or demand differences)
- Lack of real-time information, making coordination difficult
- Urban congestion, especially near busy stations
- No direct link between drivers, courtiers, and passengers
These issues aren’t the fault of any one group, they’re systemic, and they require collaborative, practical solutions.
A Future Worth Building
With major national goals on the horizon including the 2030 World Cup, tourism expansion, and digital transformation. Morocco needs a transport system that is efficient, inclusive, and locally sustainable.
Projects like TaxiNet offer a middle path: respecting tradition while introducing smart, low-cost tools that improve communication and reduce chaos.
