🚌 Departure from Casablanca
📍In Casablanca, the main CTM station is located on Boulevard Al Massira Al Khadra, a central point in the city. It's a modern terminal with all necessary amenities: ticketing, waiting rooms, a few shops, and fast food. The Supratours station is often located next to the ONCF Casa Voyageurs train station, which is convenient if you arrive by train.
🚇To reach the CTM station from the city center, you can take a 'petit taxi' (red taxi) for about 20-30 dirhams, with the journey lasting 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. For the Supratours station (Casa Voyageurs), a taxi will cost roughly the same. The tramway can also be an economical option to reach these stations from other parts of the city.
⏰CTM and Supratours buses to Fès are frequent throughout the day. The first departure is usually around 6:00-7:00 AM, and the last around 10:00-11:00 PM, with departures every 1 to 2 hours on average.

Practical tips

💡
Book your CTM/Supratours tickets in advance

To guarantee your seat and avoid any inconvenience, especially during peak seasons or weekends, it is highly recommended to book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets a few days before departure, via their websites or 12go.asia.

💡
Prefer CTM or Supratours

For a journey like Casablanca-Fès, these two companies are the most reliable and comfortable. They offer direct services and well-located stations. Avoid unofficial local buses which can be slower and less safe.

💡
Check bus stations

In Casablanca, CTM and Supratours have their own stations, often different from the main local bus station. Make sure you go to the correct one for your departure to avoid any unnecessary stress.

💡
Domestic flight vs night bus

For this 4-hour journey to Fès, the bus is ideal. Domestic flights are only relevant for very long distances, such as to Dakhla (15+ hours by bus), where a flight can save you a tiring night and is economically justifiable.

💡
Prepare for your arrival in Fès

In Fès, the CTM station is near the new town, while the Supratours station is closer to the medina. Anticipate your mode of transport (taxi or 'petit taxi') to reach your accommodation easily.

🛣️ The journey experience

Traveling between Casablanca and Fès is a classic route in Morocco, and the good news is that for this particular journey, the choice is straightforward and efficient! No bus, plane, or ferry dilemma here: the coach is your best bet. Forget domestic flights, which are only relevant for very long distances like Dakhla, and ferries are an exclusive option for reaching Spain from Tangier. For Casablanca-Fès, the bus stands out for its practicality and excellent value for money.

The CTM or Supratours coach journey from Casablanca to Fès takes approximately 4 hours and costs around 8 €. This is a perfectly reasonable duration to cross a good part of central Morocco. These companies offer comfortable and reliable buses, far from the slow local buses you might fear. You'll appreciate the punctuality and modernity of these services, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without worrying about unexpected delays.

This journey is an excellent example of the reliability of the Moroccan bus network for medium distances. You don't have to worry about committing to an endless trip. By choosing CTM or Supratours, you are guaranteed a direct, comfortable, and hassle-free journey, leaving you plenty of time to explore the fascinating city of Fès upon arrival. For this connection, the bus is clearly the right choice, offering you the peace of mind you are looking for.
