BRT's 'Ayalolo' buses starts pilot operations
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Monday began
a pilot test of operations in some parts of Accra
by offering free rides to commuters.
The free rides which will end on Friday will help
the operators of the system assess its
efficiency.
The route being piloted is the
Amasaman-Achimota-Ofankor-Tudu stretch with bus
stations at Amasaman, Achimota, Ofankor and Tudu.

Speaking on Citi FM Monday morning, the Marketing
and Communications Manager of BRT system, Mr Rolan
Bruce, said nine buses have been allocated for the
test run and will operate from 5am to 12pm during
the pilot period.
He explained that “overall, it’s going to
limit your stay in traffic between 10 and 15
minutes.”
He noted that other routes would be brought on
board within the next six to 12 months.
