Everyone wants to use a car by all means in Ghana now.
When one struggles and make some small coins, first thing they think about is getting a car. There are now more cars in Accra as there are houseflies in Chorkor gutters. Why wont there be traffic. Lets fix our mentality. What's wrong with parking your car home and taking a public transport if you have no other special place to go besides going to work and coming back home?

You Ghanaians compare your nation to no other than America. The whole Accra is a shit hole entrance. Streets sold to build to multiple builders. Land demarcation with no plan. Greedy Surveyors, no architects but poorly Trained draughtsmen, no brain maßlos. With all that you build a Contests shithole with Accra as the Gateway.

So there is no shithole in Bronx and other ghettos in USA. For the fact that you are cleaning a toilet in USA doesn’t give you the right to call Ghanaian names. If you have dealt with a few and had bad experience that shouldn’t generalize. Yet you return from time to time to this shithole and that makes you a shit rat.

Seriously l think the Ndc government showed role out a policy to solve this problem. I am beginning to believe this artificial shortage is a deliberate approach to sabotage the government for the good works in the transport industry. Why can the government invest in more public cum private transportation to relieve commuters of the daily stress.

What good works in transport sector? Fuel prices at 4 year lows in most countries .
Poor planning is the main reason.
Concentrating everything in Accra Tena corridor
Collapse of bus systems like OSA Metro Mass King of Kings Ayalolo electric busses Tata etc
No functioning rail transport.Everything on road in this country
Poor maintenance of current road infrastructure
Why no study by tertiary institutes into basic cats on the road and traffic management system in Accra to help government
Lecturers rather turned politicians
If someone s industrial policy fails what is the plan by this one

Sometimes it is frustrating reading news from ghanaweb. You told us how commuters are frustrated and yet you didn't tell us any solutions to the problems. You have to do better than that. Thanks

When persuasion fails force must be applied. Let's teach these trotros a lesson. Bring in tighter regulations to ensure complains. I expect the road and transport minister and the major of Accra to draft something quickly to teach these fools a lesson. The country is loosing revenue bcos this BS. Taxis and trotros drivers need a special license and we need them to periodically go for training and sensitization. They should be force to comply with what so ever protecting our citizens from unprofessionalism and extortion

Let us reduce duties for the importation of cars and scrap that ten years rule. As long as the car is in a good condition the age shouldn't matter.

Part of the problem is poor roads network and bad roads. Link roads are almost non-existent and the few we have are so bad that drivers avoid using them. The result is that almost every driver uses the main roads hence the unbearable traffic. Where are the taxes/levies that government collects at the ports for roads maintenance?What about those collected by DVLA? They have introduced new number plates in 2026.Please can someone tell me how much money they are going to get from re-registering all vehicles in the country?Has Fix The Country demonstrations been banned by Mahama?Wake up Ghanaians and hold the government accountable

While it is worrying how many productive hours Ghanaians lose each day commuting, it is also important to recognise the progress made. Unlike in the past, when hardship was so severe that many people stayed indoors because there was little economic activity, the cost of living has eased, businesses are active again, and people are working across our cities. This renewed activity is why we are seeing long queues and traffic once more.
That said, this challenge deserves urgent attention—especially as a 24-hour economy is now at our doorstep
