Deputy Minister of Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has disclosed that Ghana is set to receive 300 new ISUZU buses to strengthen the operations of Metro Mass Transit.

In a social media post, she said the move aligns with the Ministry of Transport’s broader vision to modernise and improve the country’s public transport system through targeted investment in efficient and reliable mass transit infrastructure.

According to her, the addition of the new buses will help cut down long waiting times while improving safety and comfort for commuters across the country.

Affo-Toffey revealed that she recently accompanied the management of Metro Mass Transit to Egypt for the final inspection of the buses ahead of their delivery to Ghana.

“On behalf of the Minister for Transport, Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, under whose leadership I serve, I had the privilege of joining the management of Metro Mass Transit in Egypt for the final inspection of three hundred (300) ISUZU buses slated for delivery to Ghana,” she stated.

She noted that the procurement reflects the clear policy direction of the sector minister to reinforce Ghana’s public transport system through strategic investment in modern and dependable mass transit solutions.

The arrival of the buses is expected to significantly expand Metro Mass Transit’s fleet, improve route coverage, reduce passenger waiting times, and enhance safety and comfort for commuters.

Affo-Toffey added that the intervention will ease daily transportation challenges faced by workers, students, and traders, help decongest major roads, lower overall transport costs, and promote a more organised and environmentally sustainable transport system nationwide.
