The Casablanca tramway was stopped from Tuesday afternoon into the night, according to a statement on Casa Tramway’s official Facebook page.
The floods impeded the flow of traffic in the center of the city. Moroccans took to social media to share videos of flooded streets and complaining about the overflowing streets.
Lately, Casablanca inhabitants have also been denouncing the city’s pollution and “bad odor,” which they say is spreading to its outskirts and destroying the environment.
RATP Dev, the company in charge of urban transport in Casablanca, stated that road workers are currently “mobilized” to clear up floodwaters in the area to ensure safe transportation.
The Casablanca-Settat region and many regions across the country are experiencing a cold snap and rainfalls early in the season.
