The Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE) launched a new contra-flow arrangement for the Ayalolo Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Tuesday, reducing the commute time between Adenta and Accra. The initiative, running from 0600 to 0900 hours and 1600 to 2000 hours, saw the buses shuttle 8,000 passengers across the corridors of Amasaman-Accra, Adenta-Accra, and Kasoa-Accra.
Mr Awudu Dawuda, GAPTE's Managing Director, confirmed that the buses completed the journey in approximately 23 minutes, a stark contrast to the two-and-a-half-hour trips typically endured during peak hours. The arrangement, which prioritizes passengers over vehicles, also alleviated passenger congestion at bus stops and prohibited private vehicles, taxis, and trotros from using the designated lanes.
Mr Dawuda stressed the importance of commuters and motorists embracing the new traffic management principle to ensure its continued success, urging authorities to address any emerging challenges.
