Casablanca has unveiled a new tramway system<\/a> that connects the east and west ends of the city through the downtown core.<\/p>\n

The $1.6 billion project has seen an estimated 1.2 million passengers since its opening in the middle of December 2012.<\/p>\n

The tramway is a light-rail-like system that was built to help reduce congestion and pollution.<\/p>\n

Casablanca has a longstanding subway plan that has yet to be built and despite the new transit, there is still much work to be done.<\/p>\n
