In Accra, Ghana's capital, a chaotic transport system heavily relies on informal minibuses (trotros) and taxis, with over 70% of Ghanaians depending on these modes for daily mobility. Despite thousands of vehicles operating daily, traffic congestion remains a significant issue, with roughly one million passenger trips made each day. The study identifies 52 different types of taxis and trotros, revealing a diverse fleet shaped by market demand rather than structured planning. This inefficiency leads to higher fuel consumption and emissions, as low-occupancy vehicles consume more fuel per passenger-kilometre compared to larger buses. To address these challenges, the study advocates for the implementation of high-capacity transport systems, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which can carry more passengers and reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Ghana's urbanization demands immediate action to shift from a vehicle-intensive system to one that prioritizes efficiency and sustainability. Key recommendations include investing in high-capacity buses, integrating informal operators into formal planning, and ensuring dedicated lanes for BRT systems. The future of urban transport in Ghana hinges on moving more people with fewer vehicles.
