Casablanca plans to build a second line and an extension to the first line (T1), inaugurated three years ago.
A 15-kilometers second line (T2) will run from Ain Diab to Ain Sebaa railway station, via the El Fida and Derb Sultan districts. Works are currently underway on a 2-kilometer extension of the first line.
The complete network is estimated to cost MAD16 billion (EUR 1.5 billion), of which MAD3.7 billion (EUR 342 million) accounted for the second phase. This will be funded by the Casablanca urban commune, the Grand-Casablanca region, in addition to funding from France.
As of 2014, the Casablanca Tramway consists of one line, 31-kilometre long with 48 stations. Authorities in Casablanca are foreseeing a final network of four tramway lines, which will increase the overall length of the tram network to 80 kilometers by 2020.
