Aayalolo to operate contra-flow on three major Accra corridors

The Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs has implemented a contra-flow arrangement for Aayalolo Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services on three major corridors leading into Accra’s Central Business District (CBD). Effective from September 29, 2026, the initiative will be in place during peak commuting hours, from 6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 8 pm.

The three corridors affected are Amasaman–Accra, Adenta–Accra, and Kasoa–Accra, all of which experience heavy traffic during peak hours. Under the new arrangement, portions of the selected roads will be temporarily reconfigured to create dedicated contra-flow lanes exclusively for authorized Aayalolo buses traveling in the priority direction.

The Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs has emphasized that private vehicles, taxis, trotros, commercial vehicles, and other unauthorised road users will not be permitted to use these lanes. The initiative is part of measures to enhance public transport services, ease congestion, and provide more dependable mobility for commuters traveling to and from the CBD.

The Ministry has collaborated with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE), and the Department of Urban Roads (DUR) to manage traffic and enforce compliance along the affected routes.
