 a lovely morning to see
the sights of Marrakech by angiebabe
Not something Im in a hurry to do myself just yet but as with most cities its a way that I would usually recommend as part of getting orientated to a place and its sights especially after all the effort and energy involved in arriving at the destination. A good way to see the lay out of a city and hear useful facts and historical information while the looking at the relevant sight.
The brochures being handed out nor the boards along the road advertising the bus tours have no note of prices so I cant help with that but I have a brochure with a layout of the tour routes available. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 bustop outside the newly
renovated airport by angiebabe, 2 more photos
Its a bit of a dream ride into the city! Nice new buses with plenty of room to place travellers luggage and the seats are clean and comfortable (well they are still new buses!).
For only 20 dirham and without the hassle of having to haggle the price down from exorbitant ripoff taxi drivers these buses leave half hourly and go straight into the city in about 20 minutes.
Not long returned from another trip to Marrakech and used the bus again - this time had to get to the Gueliz/new town - and interesting to note that the bus goes from the main square up to the main bus station and on through the new town - and the drivers have been so helpful and caring about where you want or need to get off.
If theres more than 3 of you then I would recommend you do find a taxi - still with a bit of a haggle involved but should be cheaper than 3 of you on the bus and quicker. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If your traveling by a strickt budget , and you are tired
of hassling with taxidrivers over the use of the
meter-
TAKE THE BUS.
We took the bus a couple of times and didn't
see other tourist doing that often.
Often because of the warnings of pick pockets
etc. Just use your good sence.
A ticket will cost you 3 dirham.
Bus 11 brings you to the menara gardens.
It is also the bus for the airport , but it stops
about 800m from the airport.....
If you come from the Menara gardens , just jump
on any bus passing by and they will bring you
near the Jemaa-el-fna. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Bus by diageva
Taking the bus in Marrakech is a great experience!!! ... I do remember each travel I made in it ... :))) you can observe people very near ,... their costums ... :)))
I found curious how they push themselfs to get to an empty bus, how people reserve a place to you because you are a tourist ... how women carry few children with no help and carry also with food ... how men don't move to let you arrive to your seat .... how they are so diferent !!! ... I love to see that we are so diferent ... I love this people becuase I saw them very pure ...
Bus is very secur way to travel around ... you have many bus stops ... mainly at Mohamed V that its the most important streets that comunicate Koutoubita with the moderm Marrakech of Gueliz ....
If I where you ... I will take the buses better than the little taxi or taxies ... is a great experience ....:)))
3 Dirham .. you pay to the driver ...
many buses have their stop at the Koutoubia ... mine was L1 that took me from Koutoubia to Yacoub El Mansour Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The main bus station in Marrakesh is located outside the walls of the medina. You can walk (+/- 20 min.), take a local bus (3 Dh) or a little taxi (should be less than 10 Dh, check if the counter is on and ask the price before getting in).
CTM : 044 43 44 02
Supratours is located near the train station (avenue Hassan II) : 044 43 55 25 Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 A private bus: looks good, but
no AC by iwys
Then there are the Supra Tours buses, which are run by the state rail company. They are fast, direct and use their airconditioning. More than 90% of their passengers are foreign tourists, but usually these buses are full. So, it is essential that you go to the Supra Tours office, next to the train station, and book your ticket the day before you plan to travel. They run to Agadir, Essaouira, Smara and Goulimine
Thirdly, there is the state-run CTM company, which operates from an office in the centre of Gueliz. The passengers on these are about a 70/30 split between locals and foreigners. They are fast, direct and use their airconditoning and, in my opinion, they are even better than Supra Tours. They run buses to many destinations, including Agadir, Casablanca, Fes, Rabat, Taroudannt, Ouarzazate, Zagora and Goulimine.
To give you some idea of times and prices, a CTM bus to Ouarzazate cost DH70 and took more than 4 hours; a Supra Tours bus to Essaouira cost DH65 and took just under 4 hours. On all of these buses, you will have to pay at least DH5 extra for each piece of heavy baggage. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 orange and white public buses by tini58de
Ha, when we got there, we even saw something like a busstop, but there was no indication whether the bus went to our destination. We asked two young men, and both could tell us the bus number (which was 13) and one even walked us alround the corner to show us where the busstation for that bus was!
You pay the bus driver when entering the bus - the fare in 2006 was 3 DH (30 cent) one way.
The bus stops on the way were not always recognizable, but usually when we saw people on the way waving at the bus, most of the time the bus stopped and took them along! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 ... to the sound of constant
vomiting... by mrotsmit
Just show up at the bus terminal anytime, a guy will come up to you and ask where you want to go, I ignored him at first, thinking he was scamming, but these guys are actually there to make sure you get your ticket and get on the proper bus - in an efficient manner.
You will tip the guy who puts your bag under the bus, how much was it? I don't remember, but it was a small, set amount.
The buses themselves were dirty and bumpy and it's a bit unnerving when 20% of the occupants are vomiting into small plastic bags and throwing them out the windows (continuously), but you get to ride with the locals. Theme: BusOther Contact: Bab Doukkala

CTM are a cheap, reliable and comfortable way to make your way around Morocco. Buses are air-conditioned. Seats are allocated so there's no over-crowding and timetables are accurate. The journey is broken up with cigarette / food / toilet stops. Perfect! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Prebooking may be a problem unless you have the number for a taxi driver and can speak fluent French or Arabic.
When you arrive at Marrakech airport you can negotiate with a taxi driver but expect to pay around 800 - 1000Dh, about €70 - €90 or Ł55 - Ł70, to go to Agadir; that's for the taxi and luggage, not per person.
The taxi will be a battered old Mercedes with no air con so the only option is to have the window open and let all the dust in.
There is a Supratours coach service from Marrakech to Agadir, the journey is about 5 hours with a stop part way through the mountains for snack and toilet use. The cost of this option is about 80Dh per person and the service operates four times a day I think, times of departure are sometimes variable (trying to find the times for you).
If you go for this option you will have to make your way to the rail station at a cost of about 80Dh by taxi, if they ask for more go to another driver or haggle.
The bus station is just next to the train station and you need the Supratours bus which goes to Agadir.
When you arrive in Agadir you must then make your way from the Gare (bus station) to the tourist sector at a cost of about 30Dh, the meter should be turned on, if not give no more.
Unfortunately the train does not yet go to Agadir from Marrakech but one day............ Theme: Bus
