@ Nima: Until we realize the wisdom in fixing our roads across our land, we will continually waste our money in buying such buses in a rather shorter periods of time. Our corrupt leaders are too wasteful.
And the systemic purchase of such buses also goes to heavily line-up the pockets of both NDC & NPP government functionaries like this Deputy Transportation Minister, Ms. Toffey.

@COD... THE BLEEDING NPP DOG! WO MAAME TW3 ANKASA WAE..!!! You went to opposition before you got to know that people line their pockets when they are in government, but we didn't see you making those comments some eight yearsgone by. Wo maame tw3 ankasa biom wae..!!!! We shall be lining our pockets from now until 2096, so get used to that. You crazy animals of the NPP have never applied one single principle of life in your political dealings. You can say one thing now and change your stinky mouths under one minute. God will turn you all onto carcasses in opposition. As for the thing called political power, your current entire generation will never get one until you have all gone to your graves!

It has been proven time and time that government is corrupt and incapable of running transportation business; from Ghana Airways, ominibus, and Aayalolo. Don't know how STC survived. All government has to do is waive all import duties on large passenger buses and INDIVIDUAL Ghanaians will take care of that at no cost to govt.. BLACK MAN JUST THINK.

The current crop of individuals you are talking about are selfish. When petrol prices are reduced, dollar strength reduces, inflation reduces, the repo rate or bank rate reduced, yet they selfishly refuse to reduce transportation fares. Some do it just to make a Government they dislike unpopular irrespective of the good work of the government. With government operating transport and charging competitive prices, it will serve as a check on the selfish Ghanaian individual transport operator. Stringent laws should be made to ensure accountability from government transport staff and management. Punishments should be meted out to those who fall foul of the rules. Staff found stealing or misconducting themselves sacked. Gadgets fixed in the buses for things happening in the buses and bus stations monitored from the security office and by management.

Reviving NEOPLAN is a better and strategic option for Ghana regarding its use for mass public transport. Ghana has other car industries setting up shop but cannot revive NEOPLAN that used to provide comfortable rides to Ghanaians. WHY? WHY? Railways was collapsed by various governments and its revival is mediocre. We need city tram ways, metro lines for effective mass transit, despite initial high cost. For long term value, it is worth the investment (not naive about sky train issue). The importation of more buses has and would never ever solve Ghana mass transit issues..... lack of funds for spare parts, bad roads, inefficient administrations, etc. What happened to all of the buses ordered by the previous government? Learn folks, learn. PLEASE, REVIVE NEOPLAN. MAKE NEOPLAN GREAT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!

The greedy and evil white man and his gang of allies are planning on mass terrorism with shootings, bombings and severe weather manipulations with their fake-weather weapons of mass destructions. This December 2025 throughout the 2026 summer August 30th, is their planned wicked agenda. Ghana/Africa must do everything possible to highly secure their LAND, AIR and SEA borders. Ghana/Africa must install high powered detective air and underwater sensors and cameras in other to monitor their offshore seas and air bases.

Ghana/Africa must run a joint thorough and consistent military security checks and monitor in the deepest part of the Atlantic ocean because that is one of the places the evil white man and his gang of allies are planning their AQUA BOMBINGS to cause flooding. Prepare the military to shoot down with the slightest suspicion of any known or unidentified sailing and flying object in the air waves and the sea. Ghana/Africa must strongly block the entry and forcefully demand and push for every activity and tracking of any so called Space Rocket the evil white man and his gang of allies would send into the skies. Ghana/Africa must request and demand for a well detailed information and status of every vessel and vehicle (private and commercial) before they embark on their journey into any African country air, land and sea bases and also enforce the recordings of every control room throughout the entire journey. Ghana/Africa must also prevent every airplane and sea vessels from discharging any form of chemical or waste into the air/sea waves. All the activities of the evil white man's military bases in any African country must be strongly monitored and consistently checked, or if possible completely removed! The greedy and evil white man and his gang of allies cannot be trusted.

All the countries participating in the World Cup must not leave the security of their citizens and footballers in the hands of FIFA and the host nations alone. There must be a strong participations of a joint security operations from all nations, before and during the World Cup festivities. Highly professional and advance MILITARY BOMB SQUARDS must be sent to every hosting venue and all places of international gatherings. Nations and FOOTBALLERS should just pull out of the World Cup if America and FIFA refuses to agree for a joint international military security operations at the World Cup. They are planning some serious massacre in the name of globalization.

Ghana/Africa must block every loophole and not give the evil white man and his gang of allies a chance to operate, for behind their smiles and so called world unity is a strong hate, racism, discrimination, exploitation, wickedness and pure evil.

TAX MONEY MUST BE USED WISELY PLEASE

MAINTENANCE
he government has announced plans to procure 500 new buses over the short to medium term to strengthen the operations of Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMTL) and enhance public transport across the country.

The Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, made the announcement in Parliament on Thursday, October 30, 2025, outlining the initiative as part of the government’s broader strategy to revitalise public transportation and support Ghana’s economic transformation agenda.

According to the minister, about 150 buses are expected to arrive early next year, marking the first phase of the rollout.

Mr. Nikpe noted that Metro Mass Transit’s current fleet of just 134 operational buses has made it difficult for the company to sustain operations, expand routes, and meet the growing demand for affordable and reliable public transport.

THe minister further revealed that Metro Mass Transit is taking steps to operationalise aspects of a 24-hour economy, starting with its vehicle maintenance department and traffic unit, to ensure buses remain available and functional at all times.

Heavenly blessings to those mentioning Neoplan,the Dep Minister is gleefully informing Ghanaians that her government is creating employment in another country as usual,there will be no cash out if contract is given to Neoplan.To those calling for MMT to repair their old buses for use,I say that is not advisable,MMT buses have a lifespan based on mileage and other factors ,running them beyond these factors may incur heavy losses and so the only option left for a to auction them based on valuation by STC experts,so the talk about whole buses costing 200 cedis is based on ignorance,those buses are scraps and can only be dismantled and sold per kokompe.

THE PROBLEM WITH GHANA
The matter is not purchasing new busses which gets grounded in no time. It is the management of state enterprises by politicians who have no training in professional business and project management. I hope and pray that bodies like the Ghana Institute of Directors, the IEA, etc has made an input to the review of the constitution. We need trained and professional directors to manage state business enterprises - the kind of Ghanaians you would fine as CEOs for Unilever, Coca Cola, Nestlé, Maersk Line, Stanchart, Ecobank, etc. As long as political association is the main qualification for these enterprises they will continue to fail irrespective of the investments made to retool them. In many cases the retooling is even done because of 10% coming to the decision maker. God help us.
