Transport

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.
