Finally, Casablance needs one really bad. I mean a metropolis without a metroline, thats just silly.

2017.....

2017.....

It takes time to drill tunnels under a living city, it took much longer in cities like New York, Chicago, Madrid, Moscow,..etc

[karim aboussir]

2017 I am suprised that soon I would expect at least 2030 for the first line

[CasaMor]

Je n'y crois pas!

[karim aboussir]

mais le travail c'est immense c'est un mega project ca prend beaucoup de temp et tu sais avec le geologie de casablanca n'est pas stable

[VegaM]

Le métro du Caire prévoit 4 nouvelles lignes d'ici 2022*, alors pourquoi pas une seule ligne à Casablanca à l'horizon 2017-2018, si les moyens financiers sont dispo, je pense que c'est réalisable en 8 ans de travaux, d'autant plus que quelques tronçons de ces 21km seront à la surface, la ligne ne sera pas entièrement souterraine

Surtout qu'ils trouveront pas mal d'eau dans les galeries souterraines de la ville. Faut pas oublier que toute cette région(entre Kenitra et Safi) était un océan il y a des milliers d'années.

[CasaMor]

Et puis la ligne ne passera que par les quartiers populaires!

how long did it took to build the metro in algiers?

how long did it took to build the metro in algiers?
Algiers it's not really a reference, they got a lot a financial problems and it hasn't opened yet!

For example in Toulouse (where i live) the line B of Toulouse Metro (15km and 20 stations) took just 7 years of construction (from 2001 to 2007)

Another example, the metro of Sevilla, work started in 2003, and the line 1 (19km and 22 stations) will open in September 2008

[karim aboussir]

algiers and sevilla has good geology but casablanca with its unstable geology will make the work much harder and longer

[CasaMor]

We don't have to care about this, when they'll be ready it will be ok!

how long did it took to build the metro in algiers?

it started back in 1992 but froze in the 90s during the civilian war in algeria but now when things slightly calmed down they continued with the project which would be ready by december if every thing goes well.

Certaines villes ont seulement des systèmes comme le RER "Bidaoui" de Casa, et pourtant ils sont dans la carte ;)

A feasibility study for this metro line was carried out in 1999-2000: http://www.ipe.co.at/upload/projektblatt/casablanca_en.pdf

It think they still want to built the same line that was proposed by this study. The idea was to built a southern elevated part and a northern underground part (from the highway to the center).

An image from this study, on which you can see the proposed stations:

Another example, the metro of Sevilla, work started in 2003, and the line 1 (19km and 22 stations) will open in September 2008

It hasn't start yet because they found some problems (see the picture) so they had tu cancel the aperture that was announced for dic. 20th and postpon it till debut of 2009.
and the most important is that they didn't finish the works yet, only the line Nº 1 is ready.

I don't know why it will take so long. In the city that i'm living the new line of the skytrain( the local metro ) will take just 4/5 years; it started in October 2005 and it should be done in November 2009.
They're using a new way that's known as cut-and-cover http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Image_Granvillemallskytrain.jpg
