The pilot Aayalolo contra-flow bus service has garnered positive feedback from commuters, who are urging its expansion and permanent implementation to alleviate traffic congestion in Accra. By shortening travel times during peak hours, the initiative has provided significant relief to workers, students, and other passengers who previously endured lengthy journeys. During a recent observation of the 5:30 p.m. service, a convoy of 11 Aayalolo buses was seen traveling towards Adenta, led by two motorbikes.
Commuter Mr Foster highlighted that his private bus journey from Adenta to Accra, often taking up to two hours, had been reduced to less than 30 minutes with the contra-flow arrangement. He also noted that the fare of GH¢8 was more affordable compared to the approximately GH¢13 charged by private commercial bus operators. Ms Nancy Ohene shared that her journey from Accra to Adenta had been shortened to under 45 minutes, allowing her to return home earlier after work.
Similarly, a public servant, Mr Edward Osae, emphasized the significant reduction in travel time on the Kasoa-Accra corridor and called for the sustained continuation of the service.
