The Office explained that this program includes the programming of additional trains and the strengthening of the offer on a number of main axes that see increasing demand during the Eid period. Regarding "Al Boraq" trains, the Office confirmed that a trip will be secured every hour between Tangier, Kenitra, Rabat, and Casablanca, starting at six in the morning until nine in the evening for outbound trips, with the programming of an additional train at ten in the evening, as well as strengthening the absorption capacity during periods of high pressure. As for "Atlas" trains, the absorption capacity will be increased and additional trips will be programmed on a number of main axes, especially the Marrakesh – Casablanca – Fez axis, and the Tangier – Fez – Oujda axis, in addition to trips to Nador, Khouribga, and Safi. The Office also explained that the usual offer of rapid shuttle trains will be maintained during the outbound and return periods for Eid al-Adha, with a special adjustment made on the day of Eid to suit the demand recorded during this occasion. The National Office of Railways confirmed that it will also strengthen the reception, assistance, and guidance teams for passengers inside the stations and on board the trains, in addition to mobilizing the technical teams continuously throughout the week and around the clock to ensure the normal operation of train traffic. The Office called on its customers to purchase their tickets in advance, both for the outward and return journeys, to avoid waiting lines and to ensure they get seats, whether through the stations or through the official digital platforms, including ONCF Voyages and the ONCF VOYAGES application, in addition to the approved points of sale. The Office also noted that the train schedule program will see a reduction in the number of trips on the day of Eid, calling on passengers to check the updated schedules through its official channels.
