Mahama camboo or wellington boots, these are clearly temporary solutions that wont last. This isnt the first time these vehicles have been used in Ghana. Why not send some of the rebranded buses to thoise areas!

Regulate them .pure and simple.
The taxis can not and will not go everywhere in the North, so the need for these Tricycles but must be designated to certain area where the taxis can't operate. This is simple. We all know transportation is a serious problem in a larger part of the Northern, Upper W & E regions.

That's all my brother, some people are so selfish and greedy thinking about themselves only forgetting that the ones blessed with cycles also have families to feed.

This is competition in a democracy. If passengers now prefer the camboo advise yourself positively. Go for a camboo.

Hmmmn Ghana what on earth are we looking for from our leaders. Those using the Camboo are the not Ghanaians and is it not a source of livelihood too for them. Taxi drivers shine your eyes n be competitive.

I've taking my time to read through these ndc commentators and I'm sorry for Ghana if these are youth in a sitting governments political party then we have a long way to go. None of these commentators could actually sympathize with these drivers to suggest a way out but insults and cheeky answers. This is what they've used to govern the nation to destruction. Insults, arrogance, cheeky, snobbish and all those behaviours and actions which drives people away, I'm really disappointed in their so called elders who can't bring these guys to order by teaching them politics is not insulting and praise singing, but real business. You need to think big and have a tongue that is mild to convince people not sharp , arrogant and lying tongue. This tricycle is used in NY city but not in all the boroughs, it is concentrated especially in Manhattan because that borough is a grand business area so need different kinds of transportation and that doesn't affect nothing but this one is affecting one part of the people, a good government will bring limitations to where to operate so as to give room to others also to operate but here we are with ndc mentality everything has no plan, he found it some where or somebody advised about having those tricycles in Ghana with no proper planning to it. NDC has no plan for nothing, let's ask ourselves that if not politics who and where will these people be, how could they manage their lives? We need to take all these
into consideration before we vote.The work they do if they are able to make it, how much they earn and how much they have in the bank before we hand over the country to them or else we shall never move forward and we shall experience what we are getting today.

This is where the NDC concept of development has brought us. Kufuor brought buses; Mahama brings in Camboos. That is development, right?
