 Fes Airport bus 16 by kit_mc
Much cheaper is to take bus number 16. Rumour has it that the bus runs every half an hour but there are no timetables at the bus stop to check this. From the airport, cross over to the car park and walk down to your left. The bus terminates beside the Ibis Hotel next to Fes Train Station. Going out to the airport, the bus stop is on Ibis side of the train station and clearly marked. Give yourself plenty of time to wait for the bus so that you don't end up panicking and catching a taxi. It'll arrive, just on Moroccan time.
The journey takes half an hour and in November 2006 cost 3.40 dhiram. You get on the back of the bus and pay onboard. Be aware that this is no flash airport bus, but a normal, battered old local one and that the route gets packed with locals.
This can also be a good way to get chatting with other cheapie travellers heading for your flight and exchange tales of your adventures in Morocco while waiting for your flight home. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Getting around in Fez in Morocco is easy due to its good transportation system. Once you get to Fez, you have a choice of different transports to explore this beautiful old city.
Transportation in Fez includes bus, car or taxi.
Fez el-Bali, the old inner city built by Moulay Idriss II, is one of the few car-free zones in the world. If you are taking a car, you can leave it in the newer Ville Nouvelle area and walk into the old city through the beautiful Bab Bouljard.
Leave the car in the garage. The covered parking facilities having 24 hour guard service will cost you 20 to 40 Dirham, for overnight parking.
Bus services are good, but the most convenient way of getting around Fez is by grand taxis or share taxis. If you don't want to share a taxi, you can charter a taxi only for youself.
Petit taxis carrying maximum 3 passengers are comfortable too. They are metered and the price within the city is usually not more than 10 Dirham.
You may need a guide to properly explore the alleys and by-alleys of fascinating Fez. Alternatively, carry a map of Fez in your pocket and get footloose in Fez!
Whichever way you choose to explore, Fez is sure to fascinate you! Theme: Train

 Grand taxis waiting by 78Eva
Between cities you can take grand taxis or longer distance buses. I'd go with the buses in this case. The grand taxis are dangerous, no seat belts and the drivers drive like crazy. Also, you always have to wait until five or so other passengers are sharing the taxi with you, or you need to pay their share if you want to go without them. They pack the cars full to the maximum, like three people in front and four in the back. Just take the grand taxis to places where regular buses don't go to. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Red Petit Taxis outside CTM
station by kit_mc
Make sure that at least one of you sits in the front of the car so that if the meter doesn't get switched on, you can bring the driver's attention to it. In fairness, every taxi ride we took in Fes, the meter went on with no questions asked. No journey came to more than 15 dh, most were less than 10 dh though I tended to round up to 10 dh anyway. Moroccan driving is basically insane, so maybe close your eyes until the end of the ride. Seatbelt optional...
Only twice were we 'ripped off' by taxis, in Rabat and Tangier, but that was for a maybe 10 dhirams each time, so you've got to keep it in perspective. Did make me appreciate the honesty of the Fes taxidrivers though. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Transportation in Morocco is very good, I think. You can almost anywhere by train or bus, or - my less preferred method - by grand taxi.
I really liked to travel by train in Morocco. The train ride from Fez to Casablanca is about 4-5 hours, and much much cheaper than flying. It is a pleasant ride. The train system seems to work well, the trains are modern, clean and pretty.
The best thing is do buy a first class (premiere classe) ticket. They are not very much more expensive than the regular ones but will almost certainly guarantee you a seat on a crowded train - and you wouldn't want to stand the whole time during a long ride. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

There is also tourist bus which costs 20 dirhams which goes to the new town and stops somewhere inconviniantly far away from the train station. Theme: Bus

This bus leaves from the bus station which is next to the train station and the bus stop for bus 16 is right next to the hotel.
Ticket was 3,40 dirhams(may 2008) and u buy it on board the bus that u enter at the back of the bus. Theme: Bus
