BRT Marrakesh
Bus rapid transit and trolleybus system in Morocco
BRT Marrakesh is a bus rapid transit system that is also partly trolleybus in Marrakesh, Morocco. It opened on 29 September 2017.[1][2] The system is officially known as Bus à Haut Niveau de Service de Marrakech (BHNS de Marrakech), which equates to the English term Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT, of Marrakesh. Although the buses are equipped to operate as trolleybuses, only part of the system is fitted with overhead wiring for trolleybuses, and the vehicles operated on batteries over the other sections.[2]
The transit system aims at increasing the public transport ridership and providing a tram-like service in a cheap and environmental way. The electricity powering the vehicles comes from solar power.[3]
