Viral Video Sparks Debate on Taxi Regulation in Morocco After British Tourists’ Ordeal

The viral video of the assault on two British tourists by a small taxi driver in Agadir has reignited the debate on the urgency of regulating the ride-hailing sector, which offers more security.
In the video, a taxi driver is seen hiding a 200 dirham bill under his vehicle, subsequently accusing the two British tourists of not paying for their ride. This behavior has been denounced by internet users who regret that taxi drivers continue to damage Morocco’s image as a global tourist destination through their offensive acts.
This new incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need to regulate the ride-hailing sector, which, according to many Moroccans, offers numerous advantages, including safety. They assert that transportation apps guarantee the identity of both the driver and the client, and could help reduce assaults and other practices experienced by tourists at the hands of unscrupulous taxi drivers.
