They come in the single deck and double deck variety although the double deckers are rather unique as one deck is reserved for animals. You have the model with the passengers on top and the animals below and the alternative version with the animals on top. Heaven knows how the animals get up there and how their waste disposal works as it could be smelly and wet downstairs, methinks.

In this article I will let the photos speak for themselves but is quite obvious there is an amazing variety. What is more amazing is that all the old buses seem to have disappeared.

This is the forerunner of them all, the Mk 1 donkey around in an unmodified form for about two thousand years. Unlike metal buses it is self perpetuating so it is perhaps fortunate they got the design correct in the first place.

This is a double decker - animals on top version. Imagine getting a cow up there and think of the effects on stability!

A Caetano MAN outside the Ramada Hotel in Tanger ready for a day tour.

A lineup at Tanger Bus Station. The Caetano body is popular on Volvo and MAN chassis but heaven knows whose body is on the centre Volvo B10. It is a Moroccan body.

A lot of fairly new Citybuses have been purchase and are on either Renault or Scania chassis with Moroccan bodies. This is typical of them. This is in Marrakesh.

These were the standard inter city bus.

Pretty new Scania Irizar.

This Model Ford is still around in quantity and between it and the Bedford (following picture) seem to have formed the vast majority of the transport in their day. What is interesting is that they still survive in large quantities.

Bedford par excellence.

Another Ford.

The other alternative to the donkey used by large numbers is the Mk 1 bicycle. It can be adapted to carry almost anything.

Women are not allowed to show very much and heaven knows what health and safety would think of this type of open air shop.

This is a popular means of getting around for tourists especially in Marrakesh.

MAN's are popular in the desert.

At Ouarzazate in the desert the only local bus service runs to the film studios. It is a Renault Citybus.

Another MAN passing a local Transit.

Very rare in Morocca, a Setra, probably imported secondhand from Spain.
