AMA Task Force Clears Traders from Congested Accra Bus Terminal

Accra's Circle Bus Terminal Sees AMA Crackdown on Congestion Accra, Ghana – May 21, 2025 – The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) task force launched a major operation today to clear traders from congested areas surrounding the Circle bus terminals. The action, aimed at restoring order and improving traffic flow, involved the removal of numerous makeshift stalls and vendors. The Circle area is known for its heavy traffic and overcrowding, particularly around the STC and VIP bus terminals. "We've been selling here for years," said one trader, who declined to be named, "but we understand the need to clear the space. It's become too crowded." The operation involved numerous AMA officers who interacted with traders, directing them to relocate. The video shows many traders packing up their goods, some appearing frustrated, while others cooperated calmly. The AMA aims to create a more organized and safer environment for commuters and residents. The operation appears to be part of a wider effort by the AMA to improve the city's infrastructure and address long-standing congestion issues. The success of this operation will be seen in the long-term improvements to traffic flow and overall safety in the Circle area.
