Fez – November 3, 2025 – The first batch consisting of 48 modern urban transport buses arrived in the city of Fez on November 3, 2025, at approximately 6:30 AM, as part of a national initiative aimed at modernizing public transport and improving mobility in the city. This step represents a significant achievement in the urban transport infrastructure renovation program, coordinated with local authorities, and responds to population growth and residents’ aspirations for more reliable and comfortable services.
Arrival Details and Buses
Upon arrival, the buses were directed to the reception and inspection center at the Grand Fez complex on the Sefrou road, where they undergo technical inspections and logistical arrangements under the supervision of Alsa Fez company and the Ministry of Interior. They are expected to enter service in the coming days, providing immediate relief to passengers who have suffered from an aging fleet plagued by breakdowns and overcrowding.
Reports indicate that the buses are manufactured by the Chinese company Yutong and are equipped with modern features including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and efficient urban designs, similar to previous deliveries in the city. This delivery is gradual, with a second batch of approximately 50 buses expected within the next four weeks, bringing the total to approximately 100 buses in the first phase.
National Context and Objectives

In Fez, the “Scientific Capital,” the buses contribute to improving accessibility to historical landmarks and educational institutions, while preparing to host continental and international sporting events. The gradual approach reflects a commitment to systematic integration and monitoring, ensuring service development without disruptions.
