Transport in Tangier: hell for holidaymakers during the summer

Tangier is facing a mobility crisis this summer. Many vacationers are struggling to find a means of transport for their travels.

Getting a place in a taxi or a bus in Tangier is an obstacle course for hundreds of vacationers. Whether near the busiest beach area or its surroundings, many citizens find themselves stuck at bus or taxi stops, the limited number of which is no longer able to meet this influx of vacationers wishing to return to their residences. A daily spectacle. At the taxi station in the Achakar region, while a large number of citizens wait for a taxi to arrive, overloaded buses, filled with many passengers, circulate. Drivers do not even pay attention to other people stuck at bus or taxi stops. The situation is “catastrophic”, describes Zakaria, interviewed by Tanja24. According to him, “a person can spend hours waiting for a bus or a taxi without finding any means of transport.” Many people are then forced to “give up going to the beach,” adds this young man accompanied by two of his friends.
