Did you know?

The لْواج (louage) is the shared intercity taxi: an 8- or 9-seat minibus that leaves when it's full, with no timetable. Faster than the train or the bus, fixed price per destination, and every town has its مَحَطّة (station).

Trains are run by SNCFT; intercity coaches by SNTRI (السّانْترِي) and the regional companies. The train is comfortable but sometimes مْعَطّل (late); for a quick trip, many people prefer the لْواج. Keep your تِيكِي until you're out of the station: an inspector may ask for it.
