Public Transport: 100 Buses Arrive to Alleviate Commuter Congestion

The government has taken delivery of 100 new buses as part of measures to ease mounting pressure on Ghana’s public transport system following recent commuter challenges across the country.

The Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announced the development in a Facebook post on Sunday, April 5, 2026, indicating that the vehicles form part of a broader plan to expand transport capacity nationwide.

“In the meantime, 100 29-seater buses have arrived in the country to ease recent road transport challenges. They form part of 300 procured for the purpose. Another batch of 100 will arrive in August with the last batch of 100 arriving in November,” he stated.

The arrival of the buses comes in the wake of recent shortages of commercial vehicles in parts of the country, which left many commuters stranded at bus stops and transport terminals, particularly during peak periods.

Government officials have previously acknowledged the disruptions and assured the public of ongoing interventions to stabilise the sector. The Vice-President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has indicated that steps are being taken to address the situation and improve mobility for daily commuters.
