Gov’t reallocates GH¢400m for high-occupancy buses to ease transport pressures

The government has reallocated GH¢400 million to procure high-occupancy buses for state-owned transport companies as part of efforts to reduce long passenger queues and improve public transport services across the country."This intervention will expand public transport capacity, particularly along high-demand urban and intercity routes, reducing long passenger queues during peak hours and provide commuters with more reliable and efficient alternative to private vehicles," he stated.
