100 New Buses Hit Ghana Roads to Tackle Transport Crisis

The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has announced the arrival of 100 new 29-seater buses as part of government efforts to ease ongoing public transport challenges across the country. In a Facebook post on Sunday, April 5, 2026, he revealed that the buses are the first batch of a total of 300 procured to improve transport services and reduce pressure on commuters. “Another batch of 100 will arrive in August, with the final 100 expected in November,” he stated. The move follows recent vehicle shortages in parts of the country, which left many commuters stranded at bus stops and transport terminals. Government has since pledged to resolve the situation, with Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang assuring that measures are underway to address disruptions affecting daily travel. The newly arrived buses are expected to bring immediate relief, while subsequent deliveries later in the year aim to further boost transport capacity nationwide.
