Bawumia’s Electric Buses To Revolutionize Ghana’s Public Transport

In a groundbreaking move, the Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has announced the imminent arrival of electric buses to support Ghana’s public transportation system.

This innovative initiative promises to slash public transport fares by approximately 40%, providing relief to millions of commuters nationwide.

A Long-Awaited Solution

Ghana’s public transportation sector has long been plagued by high fuel costs, frequent breakdowns, and inadequate infrastructure.

The Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led government has been working tirelessly to address these challenges, with a focus on sustainable and efficient solutions.

The Electric Bus Initiative

The introduction of electric buses marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s transportation history.

These eco-friendly vehicles will eliminate fuel costs, reduce maintenance expenses, and minimize environmental pollution.

Implementation Timeline

The initial phase of the project will see the deployment of 100 electric buses in major cities, including Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale.

The government plans to expand the fleet to 500 buses within the next two years.

Partnerships and Investments

The electric bus initiative is a collaborative effort between the government, private sector stakeholders, and international partners.

Significant investments have been made to establish charging infrastructure, training programs, and maintenance facilities.

The buses will be officially outdoor to the public after they arrive.
