Tramways have been providing public transportation to citizens throughout the world since before the 20th century. Today’s modern versions are still having an essential role in the provision of clean, comfortable, safe, accessible and attractive mass transit services. Learn from Casablanca and Rabat how these systems can significantly improve mobility in your city.
Evaluation is an important part of sustainable mobility planning before, but more rarely after the implementation phase. Hence, the ex-post evaluation of tramways in two Moroccan cities, Casablanca and Rabat-Salé, offers valuable insights that draw from almost ten years of tramway operation.
