If you are going to venture forth on a city bus in Marrakech, you have to be prepared. I was surprised the first time I paid 3.50 dirhams, got a receipt and went through a turnstile inside the bus. The reason for this bit of formality is that inspectors randomly board busses and check every passenger receipt. (They do occasionally catch people who have sneaked aboard through a backdoor, window, or the push of the crowd.)
Don't have a seat? You can sit on the steps, on the side, or even in the aisle. You can lean on the doors. You can put your arm out of the window.
If you get a seat and an older person asks you for it, you are generally expected to give it to him or her.
Just so you know--the city busses, as opposed to tour or some of intercity busses, are not air-conditioned in summer or heated in winter.
