Morocco price guide
How much does tram ticket cost in Morocco?
A single tram ride costs 8 MAD ($0.80 USD) in Casablanca and 7 MAD ($0.70 USD) in Rabat-Salé. In Casablanca, a single ticket includes a mandatory 2 MAD rechargeable paper card fee (a 2-trip ticket costs 14 MAD). Fares are fixed regardless of distance, run daily from 06:00 to 23:00, and include free transfers between connecting lines within 60 minutes.

Price examples
Typical amounts in MAD
Tram fares follow a fixed price structure set by municipal transit authorities rather than metered distances:
Buying a 2-journey ticket in Casablanca (14 MAD) avoids paying the 2 MAD card issuance fee twice. If staying more than 3 days, buying a rechargeable hard card (15 MAD in Rabat, 30 MAD in Casablanca) drops individual journey costs to 6–7 MAD.
Buy tickets at touch-screen vending machines located at every tram platform before entering. Vending machines accept Moroccan Dirham coins (1, 2, 5, 10 MAD) and local contactless cards, but often reject international credit cards or paper bills. Keep small change ready. Tap your ticket on the orange turnstile sensor to open the gates before boarding.
Both tram systems operate on flat-rate fare models subsidized by local government authorities. Distance does not change the ticket cost, making trams cheaper than small taxis (Petits Taxis) for long cross-city journeys.
City of operation (7 MAD flat rate in Rabat vs. 8 MAD in Casablanca)
Ticket type (1-journey card vs. discounted 2-journey card)
Payment method (Single-use paper card vs. rechargeable 5-year smart card)
Combined transit options (Casablanca Busway integration or Trambus combo ticket)
Trams connect major train stations (Casa-Port, Casa-Voyageurs, Gare de Rabat-Ville, Gare de Salé) directly to city centers, business hubs, and tourist districts like the Hassan II Mosque branch or Oudayas Medina. Trams run every 6 to 10 minutes during weekdays and are fully air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.
A useful rule when comparing private guide prices
Always validate your paper ticket at the platform barrier prior to boarding.
Keep coin money handy; station ticket machines rarely accept high-denomination banknotes.
Do not discard your paper ticket until you exit the destination platform; inspectors conduct random onboard checks.
Fines for traveling without a validated ticket range from 50 to 100 MAD on the spot.
In Casablanca, your 8 MAD ticket allows a free transfer between Casatramway lines and Casabusway BRT lines within 30 minutes.
For short visits, budget 14–28 MAD ($1.50–$3 USD) per day for 2 to 4 rides using standard multi-journey tickets. For stays longer than a week, purchase a rechargeable smart card for 15 to 30 MAD to lower per-ride costs.
