How it works
Grand taxis waiting outside the CTM and Supratours bus station on the road below the medina routinely quote tourists three to five times the standard shared-fare rate for the short ride up to Plaza Uta el-Hammam. Drivers claim the meter is broken or that a "private" fare is mandatory for foreigners. The legitimate shared-taxi fare to the medina entrance is rarely more than 10–15 MAD per person, yet tourists are commonly asked for 100–200 MAD. Refusal to negotiate is used as a pressure tactic to get passengers into the taxi before discussing price.
