The Casablanca Busway Arabic: باصواي الدار البيضاء Bāswāy ad-Dār al-Bayḍā’) is a high-level bus network serving the city of Casablanca in Morocco. Although operating on a test basis, the commissioning of the buses has been postponed indefinitely pending the resolution of problems preventing the city from receiving the lines.[2] The network will consist of 2 lines, line  BW1  and the line  BW2 .
