Public transportation can have a negative impact on employee retention, according to almost 40% of the people surveyed in a recent World Bank Morocco case study.
In total, 31 establishments responded, all working in the textile sector. 60% of them are in Casablanca, 20% in Tangier, 13% in Fez, and the remaining 7% in Marrakech, according to the Bank’s data.
All aspects of public transportation were heavily criticized by executives.
The firms appear to have agreed on the quality of public transportation in terms of frequency, comfort, and punctuality.
The World Bank further stated that several workers around the world face difficulties in gaining access to safe and efficient transportation services.
“Commuting between home and work for minimum wage or informal workers can quickly turn into a nightmare,” the Bank added.
The study findings confirmed that firms expect good public transportation policies, highlighting the importance of involving stakeholders in transportation policy design.
Improvements to public transportation benefit workers by improving job access while also helping to enhance company performance, added the study.
The study findings also raised alarm on the need to promote accessible, affordable, efficient, and safe public transport services.
“An efficient public transport network is key for sustainable, climate-friendly, inclusive, and growth-oriented urban centers,” recommended the World Bank’s study.
