  This is no news!
  Even in the developed world people pack their cars and join trains or buses. This tells you that you don't just drive cars around and waste fuel when you don't have to.

  This is news for those who are used to getting free rides and also those living abroad to know how times have changed. I very like the idea and hope it is safe. I will do same if I can and this will give the commercial drivers a run for their money as they intend to increase fares by heart.

  My friend don't compare developed country to Ghana where public transport will drop you exactly where you are going either bus or train but Ghana you will have to park your private car to join taxi to a lot of destinations which is more expensive because public transports don't apply our bad roads. And most areas are public transports prohibited even taxis, I thought you know better. That is the better Ghana Mahama and his ndc promised us when fuel now the cheapest ever in the last 10 years in Europe and America and mind you all this countries don't have oil but Ghana now has.

  Yes, you are correct. You cannot compare the public transport system of developed countries or state of roads to Ghana.

  Why do private car owners pay insurance? The premium has been increased for both commercial and private cars . After all private cars are also entitled to claim if they don't exceed the number of passengers permitted to take.

  This kind of yellow journalism must stop. Save Ghana, you need to grow up a little because your idiocy on this platform is becoming too much. Private cars picking up passenger for a fee is nothing new in Ghana. Finder will by all means run such useless stories because the owner, Awal is not getting freebies under NDC as he used to when he was the MD of Graphic. He was very corrupt at the time that the workers jubilated over his exit

  We are growing up as a society now to know that we have to think about the future of our children and those not yet born.
