The Marrakech city council approved the transfer of coach services from Bab Doukkala to the new station.
In May 2026, Marrakech city council approved the transfer of the coach station from Bab Doukkala to the new Al Azzouzia station. According to a press review by Le360, based on the daily Al Ahdath Al Maghribia, councillors and the authorities wanted a swift transfer, given the investment made and the requirements of municipal management.
The decision met with opposition from some operators and professionals at Bab Doukkala, who were keen to keep their established position. Several organisations, including the National Federation of Road Passenger Transport and the National Union of Road Passenger Transport, wrote to the President of the Region to voice their opposition and to regret not having been involved in the project.
Talks with the professionals continued until the extended meeting held in July, on the eve of the opening.
