“Since its inception on December 12, 2012, the Casablanca Tramway has gradually evolved into a true common heritage for the city with a social, economic, and cultural dimension, rather than merely a mode of transportation,” MAP tweeted.

In the statement commemorating its tenth anniversary, Casa Tramway announced the launch of a campaign aimed at celebrating Casablanca residents. Called “CASAWAY by Casatramway,” the initiative seeks to further deepen “the intense ties that bind the city and its inhabitants to the tramway,” it added.

In May, France-based Colas Rail secured a €15 million contract for building low-voltage systems for lines T3 and T4 of the Casablanca Tramway.

The two lines aim to reinforce public transport services in the city. Line T3 will cover 14 kilometers of double-track platform and 20 new stations while line T4, also a double-track platform, will have 19 stations.
