Go back to the drawing table; Aayalolo contra flow is not the solution – GPRTU tells gov’t

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has expressed dissatisfaction with the Aayalolo bus contra-flow system, stating it is not the solution to Accra's traffic woes and causing inconvenience to other road users. GPRTU Deputy Public Relations Officer Samuel Amoah stated this on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem. He noted that the Aayalolo buses face oncoming vehicles, creating difficulties for other motorists.

Amoah emphasized that the current setup could lead to accidents and questioned whether passengers in other commercial vehicles did not deserve timely arrival at their destinations. He argued that the contra-flow measure is not a lasting solution to the congestion on the city's roads. Amoah urged the government to return to the drawing board and plan more effectively, rather than relying on temporary measures.

Furthermore, he asked whether Aayalolo passengers had special duties that other commercial vehicle passengers did not, stressing the need for long-term planning instead of short-term fixes.
