Al Bidaoui (Arabic: البيضاوي) is a commuter rail system serving Casablanca in Morocco. It serves several train stations in Casablanca such as Casa-Voyageurs, Casa-Port and Mohammed V International Airport. [1]

After the growth in the region of Casablanca, ONCF started constructing a railway line to go through the region and created the TNR line between Casablanca and the airport in 1993. Starting from 1 July 2002, the line has been improved and called Al Bidaoui. [2]

Naming

The system was first called TNR Casablanca - Airport until 2002 when it was renamed Al Bidaoui which is an adjective in Arabic describing people and things from the region of Casablanca.
