Ghana's Transport Crisis: Calls for Metro System Amid Fare Hikes

Ghana grapples with transport fare increases, prompting calls for Metro mass transit system. The recent surge in transport fares has sparked widespread discontent among commuters in Ghana. The issue was discussed on GhanaAkoma, with Nana Yaw Wiredu, Presiding Member of the Assembly, advocating for the introduction of a Metro mass transit system as a solution. "The current system is unsustainable," Wiredu stated, highlighting the challenges faced by passengers due to high fuel prices and inadequate infrastructure.
