Management of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) – a service being introduced by government to ease transportation in the cities – has indicated that the pilot programme which began on Monday September 26 recorded low patronage from the public.
Commuters are being offered free rides on the air-conditioned buses fitted with USB and Wi-Fi services for this week as the service is being piloted, however, its patronage on the first day of operations did not live up to expectations.
The buses, popularly called ‘Ayalolo’, which travel on dedicated lanes, were seen with few people on board in some parts of the capital city in the morning.
Commuters who wish to enjoy a free bus ride can catch any of the vehicles from Amasaman through Achimota to Circle and then to Tudu, at the Central Business District of Accra.
