The 15-kilometer second line (T2) will run from Ain Diab to Ain Sebaa railway station via the El Fida and Derb Sultan districts.
“This line should serve Hermitage, Mers Sultan, Al Fida, Derb Kabir, Hay Al Amal, Hay Al Farah, Hay Tissir, Hay Jamal, Laayoune, Hay Massira, Hay Mohammadi, Dar Lamane, El Badr El Bassma and Ain Sbaa,” Casa Transports announced.
The second line “eventually will serve a population estimated at 450,000 inhabitants”, Casa Transports estimates.
The investment amount of the second tram line and the extension of the already-existing line 1 is set at 3.7 billion dirhams (USD 382 million).
The project will be funded by the Casablanca Urban Commune, the Grand-Casablanca region, in addition to funds from France.
“The work of the second line will be ready by the end of 2018,” said Casa Transports.
The Casablanca Tramway network is expected to cover 110 kilometers by 2022.
