This morning, the city of Fès welcomed the first batch of modern urban-transport buses, marking a tangible step in the national programme to upgrade public mobility across Morocco.
Locally, the arrival of 48 new vehicles in Fès signals improved comfort and service for citizens. According to Yabiladi, the buses arrived around 6 :30 a.m. at a logistics hub on the Sefrou road and will undergo final checks before entering service.
The bus-delivery in Fès, reportedly Yutong-made, forms part of the broader 2025-2029 National Urban Bus Transport Programme, which the Ministry of the Interior announced will upgrade fleets in 84 cities and urban areas. hespress
Fès Steps into Modern Mobility
For Fès, historically one of Morocco’s older-fleet cities, the new buses mark a shift in service quality. The modern vehicles reportedly include improved comfort features, better accessibility and are intended to reduce overcrowding and delays. Locally-based media note that Fès prepares to host regional events and wants its transport network to match the ambitions.
Better mobility means better access to jobs, education, and services across the city and surrounding towns. In the national context, the renewal strengthens regional equity: the same programme reaches large and medium-sized centres, closing infrastructure gaps across Morocco.
National strategy & future outlook
Under the Interior Ministry’s framework, the model of delegating bus-services to professional operators with smart ticketing, real-time passenger information, and dedicated maintenance centres is gaining ground. expresstv.ma
Fès now joins a long list of cities where the first deliveries are unfolding. The focus will now shift to deploying the vehicles into service, training operators, rolling out smart systems and monitoring performance.
With the wheels in motion, Fès celebrates a milestone; the country pushes its mobility horizon further.
