Moroccan TGV: how the success of Al Boraq will finance your future journeys

The Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Qayouh, specifies in a recent written parliamentary response that commercial revenues largely cover the costs. This dynamic generates a "surplus that contributes to the financing of the infrastructure" and boosts the local economic fabric.
