Can you book CTM buses online from abroad?
Yes, you can book CTM buses online from abroad through the official CTM website, and paying with an international card usually works, letting you reserve seats on popular routes before you arrive. CTM is Morocco’s main premium intercity coach company, and booking ahead is smart for long or busy routes like Marrakech–Fes or anything to the desert.
The site can be a little clunky and occasionally rejects foreign cards, in which case you can buy at the station on the day, though the best departures may sell out. Keep the confirmation email or PDF ticket on your phone to show at boarding.
Note that CTM has a modest baggage fee for hold luggage, paid at the station, and that CTM and the rail-linked Supratours are separate companies with separate booking systems. For flexibility, arrive at the station a little early even with an online ticket.
