Dori

To Dori from Ouagadougou There are 3 options: SOGEBAF, TSR, and STMB. SOGEBAF and TSR go from Ouaga to Dori twice daily. SOGEBAF goes to Gorom and Markoye, and will occasionally add more busses for Ouaga if there is a demand. SOGEBAF and TSR leave both from the Sankariare gare Fr. for “station platform” de SOGEBAF. The TSR station is next to the SOGEBAF station. They both leave at 7h and 16h. The Ouaga – Dori bus trip costs 5000 CFA. Each Wednesday both companies send a bus to the marché of Gorum-Gorum. This bus leaves at 10h and can be very crowded. On Sundays, they send a bus to Markoye, at the same time. STMB goes from Ouaga to Dori, but only once a day. The bus leaves from the main STMB bus station at 15h. It costs 5000 CFA.

From Dori to Ouagadougou: There are the same 3 options, but the times of departure vary slightly. SOGEBAF leaves at 7h and 13h30m every day from their gare, which is past the round point on the left, and it costs 5000 CFA. TSR leaves from their gare, which is on the other side of the block from SOGEBAF. They leave at 6h30m and 13h00 and cost 5000 CFA. STMB leaves only once a day, at 8h00m, from the gare next to the marché, and it costs 5000 CFA.

From Dori to other parts of the Sahel

Go to the gare routière de “bus station of” Dori. It is actually the same place as the gare de STMB. At the gare you will see lots of bush taxis going to all sorts of destinations. It is uncertain where or when they go. It can be said that they don’t go to other parts of the Sahel that often. Marché day in Dori definitely provides more road transportation options to the Sahel. Good luck.

From Dori to Gorom-Gorom

Go to the TSR gare and ask about anything going to Gorum. There is almost always at least one camion “truck” per day going to Gorum. The rainy season will make the trip a lot more difficult, with fewer vehicles, and, depending on the water level, the road can be impassable in places. Alternatively, as stated earlier, SOGEBAF and maybe TSR go from Ouaga to Gorum on Wednesdays at 10h and to Markoye on Sundays at 10h. The bus goes to Gorum and Markoye, respectively, the night before the Marché day, then leaves and goes back to Ouaga, supposedly the following morning; usually, it takes a little longer before the bus sets off from the Marché.
