Morocco Public Transportation:Transport buses companies & Trains

Morocco Public Transportation:Transport buses companies & Trains

Public transportation plays a major role in connecting moroccan cities and cargo transport. The ONCF (Office National de Chemin de Fer) has recently added more trains,more lines and shortened the liaison time between major cities.
Wherever you are in the country,you can be sure to find a nearby train station to take you to any destination. Train fares are cheap and compartments are comfortable. Trains are also protected by security agents who travel aboard them.

If you happen to be in Tangier,you can take the overnight train to Marrakech at 9pm. Direct lines also serve Rabat/Casablanca. Trains going to Fes,Mekness and Oujda used to swich rail paths at Sidi Kacem(2 hours before Rabat).

It is a good idea to book your train ahead a day or two whilst you're in the country. Although you cannot book trains ahead from outide Morocco, you can certaily check all the train schedules and fares at the ONCF website (The National office of train services) and here.


Sometimes you may need to use buses since trains do not cover all places. For example,there are no railways to serve Agadir,Essaouira,Beni Mellal,ouarzazare,merzouga and most of the Moroccan sahara region.

CTM ,Supratours and SATAS(+212 24 43 70 49) are the three main bus companies in Morocco. All offer Long-distance travel and are air-conditioned. CTM being the oldest has some stations next to the train stations in the main cities. SUPRATOURS is affiliated with the ONCF,so ask the train office for supratours buses(autocars) available to continue your journey where the trains are not available. For example,you can book your bus ticket at the train station in Tangiers if you're heading to Essaouira from Marrakech. As soon you get off the train in Marrakech,you will find buses available to take you to Essaouira in around 3hrs(170 kms) including a 30 minutes break. Of course, you can always buy a ticket anytime in Marrakech for an essaouira trip. You can buy it at a kiosque facing Bab Marrakech next to Ville Nouvelle(New Town-the modern part of Marrakech). It's near the train station or any taxi can take you there. The supratours maroc website used to be at http://www.supratours.ma/ but it seems not be working or may be under maintenance. how to get to Tangiers city (Tanger Ville) from Tanger Med port
