To understand the impact of this scheme on a national scale, it"s important to understand the wider role of taxis in Morocco. In a country of 36 million people, there are only 2.8 million registered cars: so just one car per 11 Moroccans. To put this in perspective, nearby Spain, which has a population of roughly 10 million more, has more than 24 million vehicles on the road. And without rail or bus providing a well-developed or affordable solution to the masses, Grand Taxis are the leading long-distance transport solution.
