Casablanca Tramway

The Casablanca Tramway is a low-floor tram system in Casablanca, Morocco. It is the second tram system in Morocco, after the Rabat-Salé Tramway, but is longer and has more stations. As of 2014, it consists of just one Y-shaped line, 31km long, with 48 stations, connecting Sidi Moumen in the east with Ain Diab and the Facultés district in the west. More lines are planned.ConstructionProject management on the first line was provided by Casablanca Transports en Site Aménagé SA ("Casa Transports"), a limited company created for the purpose in March 2009. Stakeholders were the Moroccan Ministry of Finance and the Interior, local government (the Grand Casablanca regional government, the Casablanca préfecture and Casablanca urban commune), and several institutional investors (King Hassan II, CDG Capital, Banque Populaire du Maroc, and ONCF, the state-owned railway). Casa Transports awarded the construction contract to a global group headed by the French group Systra. Project support was subcontracted to the Spanish group Ayesa Tecnología.
