There is a reliable bus route that runs daily throughout the
city as well as various private lines which run from Gare
Routière on Rue Léon l'Africain in downtown
Casablanca. Fiat Uno taxis provide metered services in the central
metropolitan areas. Registered taxis can be easily hailed from just
about anywhere in the city and are easily identified by their blue
colour. These are known as petite taxis (small taxis) while
the white variety are known as grands taxis (big taxis).
Grand taxis can also be hired by the hour or day and many
travellers may choose to do this. Rental car agencies can be found
throughout the city, but they are expensive and those opting to
drive themselves should be cautious of chaotic driving and high
accident rates. Walking around the city is safe enough but petty
thieves, such as pick-pockets taker advantage of unsuspecting
tourists.
