Fez has a basic public transport system, with trains, buses and taxis. It is easy to get lost in the maze of narrow streets that make up Fez's Medina, the world's largest car-free urban zone. The medina does have color-coded tourist routes, so it is best to use the accompanying tourist map and ask for directions if lost. In Fez, the petits taxis are small and red and operate between the Medina walls and within the city limits. They tend to be metered and are not too expensive, only carrying three passengers. Grands taxis are bigger and travel fixed routes from the cities to the outlying areas. Both types of taxis are usually shared and drivers often wait until the taxi is full before departing. The train station is situated in the Ville Nouvelle (new city) and operates a route to Tangier and other destinations.
