Train
ONCF commuter trains stop at Sidi Bernoussi on the Casablanca–Mohammedia line. A new station is being built as part of the Kenitra–Marrakech high-speed programme; expect works and temporary changes around it through 2026.
Status, 23 September 2026: Sidi Bernoussi is in ONCF's works package for ten stations between Mohammedia and Nouaceur (May 2026), and among the Casablanca stations where the tracks are being dug under (July 2026). In early 2025 the arrondissement president said land expropriation was complete and that construction depended on approval of the new urban plan. No opening date has been announced.
