The Ease of Public Transit in Morocco

How did I feel when I tried this way of getting around?:

I remember during my first day of learning Arabic in Peace Corps, I had a very nervous feeling when I realized that I'd have to be trying to explain to someone where I wanted to go. I then thought, "That would be really cool, when I can do that fluently." In a country that doesn't have English in its top three list of languages used, you are forced to learn, and this is most often forced when getting food and getting around.

I enjoy using the modes of transportation available, it makes it much easier to get around! There is also something very pleasing about being able to sit back, read a book, write, or just listen to music and enjoy the ride. 

Is this way of getting around connected to the culture and environment, How?:

As I explained earlier, it definitely is connected to both, maybe more so to the culture. Morocco is a developing country. The population is growing rapidly and migration from rural to urban areas in search of work has been picking up, with about 35 percent of the population residing in cities. However, there aren't that many cities and even more towns and villages spread across the country the size of the west coast of the United States. The complex transportation system is very important for those living in small villages in rural areas, it usually creates a domino effect, using one mode of transit that leads to another and then to another in order to travel long distances. It is very critical and more sustainable to have a well connected transportation system that serves everyone equally.
