Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, is scheduled to visit the Ministry of Transport on Friday, January 16, to engage sector leadership on the persistent challenges confronting public transportation, particularly in the Greater Accra Region.
The visit comes amid growing public concern over the reduced availability of commercial vehicles during peak hours, inflated transport fares, and long waiting times, especially during the morning and evening rush periods.
Discussions are expected to focus on measures currently being implemented by the ministry, as well as proposed interventions aimed at addressing the ongoing shortage of commercial vehicles and easing the burden on commuters.
The engagement forms part of broader government efforts to improve mobility within the capital and stabilise the public transport system.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport is also expected to hold a separate meeting with the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and other transport unions as part of efforts to find lasting solutions to the current crisis.
