Morocco buses 1980s Larache transport modernization
In Larache, some urban buses are still from the 1980s. Their deterioration contrasts with the new vehicles deployed in Tangier, Tétouan and M’diq-Fnideq as part of public transport modernization.
The urban transport network in Larache continues to rely on an aging fleet, marked by frequent breakdowns and comfort conditions deemed insufficient by users.

According to Al Ousboue Assahafi, some vehicles in circulation are reportedly over forty years old. Residents describe them as "rolling shacks" due to their mechanical condition and the absence of basic safety and comfort equipment.

The situation provokes even more confusion as other cities in the region have benefited from recent fleets. Tangier, Tétouan and the prefecture of M’diq-Fnideq received new buses as part of a program led by the Ministry of Interior to modernize public transport.
In Larache, users instead denounce vehicles that reached the end of their normal operating life long ago. Recurring mechanical incidents disrupt daily routes and fuel questions about the reasons for their continued operation.
