The region is known for its ideal geographical location with four access roads, including the island’s two motorways (M1 and M3). It is only 10 and 20 minutes away from the main hubs of Ebene and Port Louis respectively, as well as 30 minutes from the North. The trend in Moka is towards soft mobility and public transport. Find out about the eco-friendly, fun and sporty modes of transport available to residents of Moka!
Public transport
Whether you live in the centre of the island or along the coast, there is good public transport to get you to and from work. There are various bus routes to Moka and a bus stop at the entrance to each of our neighbourhoods. With the completion of the metro in the coming years, there will be three stations in Moka to facilitate daily commuting.
By car
Moka is one of the most accessible regions of the island, in particular through its four access roads, including the country’s two motorways. It is now easier to reach Moka than Port Louis through the M3 Motorway. Several road infrastructure projects have been completed, with others underway in the region. Moka is even more accessible now for residents from the central, southern, and western parts of the island.
