GAPTE must stick to advertised times for the contra-flow system — Local Gov’t Minister
The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has directed the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE), the managers of the Aayalolo buses, to stick to advertised times in the operation of the contra-flow system.
Mahama Ayariga, the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, has instructed the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE) and Aayalolo bus managers to adhere to the scheduled times for the new contra-flow system. Ayariga emphasized that promoting punctuality is crucial for the success of the initiative, which aims to facilitate the smooth flow of Aayalolo buses during peak hours in Accra.
The Aayalolo BRT services will operate during morning and evening peak periods, running from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. respectively. The initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service's Motor Traffic and Transport Department and the Department of Urban Roads, initially covers three major commuter corridors: Amasaman–Accra, Adentan–Accra, and Kasoa–Accra.
The Managing Director of GAPTE, Dawuda Awudu, explained that the success of the contra-flow system relies on the buses adhering to their advertised departure times, regardless of passenger load.
