Practical tips

💡
Prioritize CTM and Supratours

These two companies offer the most reliable, fast, and comfortable services for intercity travel. Avoid unidentified local buses for long distances; they are often slower and less safe.

💡
Book Long Journeys in Advance

For very popular routes or during holiday periods, bus tickets sell out quickly. Purchase your CTM or Supratours tickets online via 12go.asia or directly at bus stations a few days beforehand.

💡
Domestic Flights: When and Why?

Consider flying for extreme distances, such as to Dakhla, where a flight can save you a 15-hour overnight bus journey. Always compare the price and total (door-to-door) duration before deciding.

💡
Identify the Correct Bus Station

CTM and Supratours often have their own terminals or dedicated sections within major bus stations. Always double-check your exact departure point to avoid any confusion.

💡
Checked Luggage

Keep in mind that for checked luggage, a small fee is usually required (around 5-10 MAD per piece). Have small change ready when boarding.

🛣️ The journey experience

Traveling between Safi and Casablanca is a straightforward and simple journey, typical of many routes in Morocco. Forget the hassle of wondering if a bus, train, or plane is the best option: for this relatively short distance, the bus stands out as the obvious choice. It offers an excellent balance of price, comfort, and travel time, allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery without worrying about complex connections or long waits at the airport. It's the kind of journey where you can relax and let the road do the rest.

For the Safi-Casablanca route, the bus is the recommended mode of transport. You have a choice between two main and reliable companies: CTM and Supratours. These services offer comfortable, air-conditioned, and punctual buses. Ticket prices generally hover around €8 (approximately 80-90 MAD), and the journey takes about 3 hours. It's an economical and efficient option, dropping you right in the heart of Casablanca, ready to explore the city.

Overall, for most of your inter-city travels in Morocco, especially for medium distances like Safi-Casablanca, the CTM and Supratours networks are your best bet. An domestic flight is only justified for very long distances, such as to Dakhla, where a 15-hour overnight bus ride would be exhausting. For the rest, trust the buses: they will get you everywhere simply and affordably, without the complications of ferries or unnecessary domestic flights. This is practical, on-the-ground experience speaking, and it's reassuring.
