Moroccans angry at taxi drivers

In Fès, Casablanca or Marrakech, taxi passengers, both small and large, are subject to unregulated fare increases. Without any decree from the competent authorities, some drivers systematically demand additional fees of one to two dirhams. This practice provokes the indignation of employees and students, whose transport budget is heavily impacted by these unjustified surcharges.

Professionals in the sector justify these increases by the rising costs of operations, mainly related to fuel prices. However, the government support system for transport remains in effect, which makes these adjustments illegal in the eyes of the law. This situation reveals a lack of rigorous control, leaving room for a certain anarchy in the application of meters and urban flat rates.

Faced with this social unrest, local stakeholders are calling for immediate intervention by the administration to clarify and stabilize the rate schedule. The challenge is to maintain a balance between the imperatives of the drivers and the protection of the purchasing power of citizens. Any price change must be the subject of an official decree in order to put an end to daily conflicts between service providers and customers.
