“Accra needs more than buses” – MP pushes for full transport system overhaul as GAPTE contra-flow begins

Speaking to Starr News on the commencement of the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE) contra-flow bus priority system for Aayalolo services, Mr Osei stressed that rapid population growth, rising private vehicle ownership and the occupation of potential road corridors have left the city with limited space and severe traffic bottlenecks.

The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Roads and Transport Committee, Kennedy Nyarko Osei, has called for a comprehensive overhaul of the transport system in Greater Accra, arguing that simply adding more buses will not solve the capital’s worsening congestion.“It is not only about getting enough buses to deal with the system, we need a complete overhaul of our transport system within the capital city.
