Accra’s bus rapid transit service, running larger buses on defined routes with proper stops, a schedule and a fare card.

Where it goes, it is comfortable, predictable and a considerable improvement on a trotro. The network is limited, which is the catch.

The name is Ga.

Alongside it: Metro Mass Transit, the state-run bus service, cheaper and more useful for intercity travel; and STC, the long-distance coach operator for Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale.
