TheCasablanca Metro was apublic transport project dating from the 1970s[1] inCasablanca,Morocco. It was designed to address the need for public transport in Casablanca, which suffers from traffic congestion caused by the city's growth.[2] The project was abandoned and then reopened several times, most recently in 2013, when the city announced that it will build a 15-kilometer long metro line above ground, connecting the city'sSidi Moumen neighbourhood with the Boulevard de la Corniche near theHassan II Mosque.[3][4] However, on June 30, 2014, the Casablanca city council decided to abandon the metro project due to high costs; instead, the city will focus on expanding its existingtram lines.[5]
Formally launched in the 1980s, the project has never been continued due to geographical reasons. A lot of alternatives were presented and accepted, like the combination of theCasablanca tramway andRER system, which is designed to offer coverage similar to the planned metro system.
