  "account": "Metro Mass Transit (MMTL) returned to profitability in 2025, posting a net profit of GH¢4.48 million, after a loss of GH¢2.52 million in 2024. The company's operating profit surged from GH¢530,000 in 2024 to GH¢5.07 million in 2025. Revenue growth, driven by a 17.38% increase in ticket sales and a 13.17% rise in earnings from hiring and school bus services, lifted total revenue from GH¢142.56 million to GH¢161.85 million. Passenger numbers climbed by about 30%, with an average daily passenger boarding rate of 6,866. Despite cutting its workforce by 213 employees, MMTL's employee productivity rose to GH¢110,000 per worker. However, operating cash flow fell significantly, and liabilities still exceeded assets, leaving the company with negative equity.",
