Earlier in May, the National Office of the Railways (ONCF) organised a press briefing in Rabat, during which Mr. Mohamed Rabie KHLIE, Director General of the ONCF, presented the performances recorded since the commissioning of major network development projects that have reconfigured the rail offer and marks a real renewal of rail in Morocco. The high-speed train 'Al Boraq’, has already attracted 1 million passengers and has a satisfaction rate of 92%. It continues to impress through its well thought out services, its unbeatable travel times, its irreproachable comfort and its frequencies in continuous improvement (20 trips and returns / day). Since their start-up, the 3,000 'Al Boraq' trains that have circulated have had a punctuality of about 98%. The Al Atlas trains linking Marrakech - Casa - Fes and extended to the North and the Oriental, recorded during the first four months of this year a great success with regard to the 5.5 Million passengers.
