  • This action increases the total number of operational Aayalolo buses in the Greater Accra Region to 128.
  • The initiative aims to improve public transportation services and alleviate persistent traffic congestion in the capital.
  • The disclosure was made by GAPTE Managing Director, Awudu Dawuda, during a visit by the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga.
  • Repairing and deploying these buses was a key priority for GAPTE to enhance mobility in the region.

Why This Matters

This development is significant for Ghana as it directly addresses the critical issue of urban traffic congestion in Accra, which impacts productivity and quality of life. Improving public transport infrastructure can enhance daily commuting for thousands and potentially stimulate economic activity by making movement more efficient. It also signifies a commitment to maintaining existing public assets for better service delivery.
