Practical tips
Especially if you're traveling on weekends or holidays, buying your CTM or Supratours ticket a few days in advance guarantees you a seat and avoids last-minute stress. You can do this online or directly at the bus station.
For inter-city routes like Casablanca-Marrakech, always opt for national companies like CTM or Supratours. They offer better comfort, reliable schedules, and more organized stations than local companies, which are often slower.
Remember that for bulky luggage placed in the hold on CTM or Supratours buses, a small fee (usually a few dirhams) is required. Have some small change ready for this, it's part of the routine.
If you are considering a journey of more than 10-12 hours (like towards Dakhla), always check domestic flights. A flight can often be faster and sometimes even more economical than a very long overnight bus trip, despite the comfort of the bus companies.
In Morocco, some cities have multiple bus stations. Make sure you correctly identify your company's station (CTM often has its own station, Supratours is often next to the ONCF train station) to avoid any confusion on departure day.
