A new rail-road service linking Souk El Arbaa, Ouazzane and Chaouen has been put in place with the aim of facilitating passenger mobility in the Northern region, the National Office of Railways (ONCF) announced on Monday.

This new connection, set up in partnership with the ONCF subsidiary "Supratours", comes following the opening of the new Souk El Arbaa railway station, inaugurated on 29 July, the ONCF specified in a statement.

"Through this new connection, the ONCF aims to facilitate the mobility of its customers in the Northern region through its subsidiary operating on destinations not served by train, by means of modern, state-of-the-art coaches, equipped with all the comfort facilities to guarantee transport in the best safety conditions," the same source indicated.
