Overhaul public transport now Nation losing over GH¢4bn yearly to poor system - Experts

Ghana's public transport system requires a comprehensive overhaul, according to two university academics. They estimate the nation loses over GH¢4 billion annually because of the current inefficient model. The experts argue that the decades-old system is no longer suitable for modern needs.

The daily reality for commuters includes long queues at terminals, overcrowding, and unreliable services. These issues highlight the urgent need for significant changes to the public transport infrastructure. The current setup not only inconveniences citizens but also imposes a substantial economic burden on the country.

Experts believe that a complete reform is essential to modernize the system and enhance its efficiency. Such changes would aim to improve the overall commuting experience and mitigate the significant economic losses currently being incurred. The call for reform underscores the critical role of efficient public transport in national economic development.
