  Insanity has been defined as doing the same thing and expect different results. Ghana by this definition is an insane country.
  
  Same modus operandi has been used by all governments and it is still not working. Please, can someone think outside the box with a better solution?
  
  My take is to engage a serious private entity to run these buses and get paid compensation based on certain performance metrics. The employees will belong to that company.
  
  This is going on in other sparts of the world and it works like a charm.

  Cheaper option.
  Create dedicated bus lanes that cannot be shared by other road users.
  Design a master dedicated bus lanes network for the city that can be developed in phases. This will prove cheaper than a subway or rail line since the locomotive engines cost too much.
  
  Now let the private sector buy the buses according to government as specification and charge them a percentage of their daily sales...
  
  
  I tell you, government will make far more money, jobs will be created and people may even park their cars if they realize this beats traffic and is cheaper
  
  
  Spending large sums on buses by government... not innovative enough .. but who am I.... only my humble thoughts...

  Same old Approach. Dont our politicians think? or its just deliberate. We dont need busses. Already the system and roads are choked and they are still going to bring in more busses to worsen the problem. We just need roads and expansion. The vehicles are too many for the roads and that is the problem. I wonder if these people just dont have brains to think.

  But as a country we need to get rid of trotro..it’s looks terrible on our roads..pragya and trotro shoyld be taking off the streets especially in major cities..the country looks so disorganized because these buses will soon be packed somewhere after few months..Africans basically don’t know how to govern their countries..it’s very sad..simple simple things we cannot do as people..sometimes I wonder why..

  @Agyengo I agree with u to some extent..quality road network is the basis for economic development..Govt should make an effort to construct every road networks..the underline word is every road networks and not some..a road is a network that should be connected with ease..you cannot connect some place and leave some place..the number 1 reason Ghana as a country is not developing at a fast pace is because the country is not constructing quality rode networks.. a road is fixed today, in the next 6-12pm the, the road is already deteriorating..A country cannot develop to its full potential without good road networks..industrialization can follow(24hour economy) after most road that’s our highways, inner city roads, inner town roads and inner villages..we must take pride in building quality roads that can last for Atleast 15-20years..
