The Government has allocated GH¢400 million to acquire high-occupancy buses to add to the state fleet at Metro Mass and the State Transport Company(STC)
While reading the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament, the Minister said Government was committed into improving urban mobility in the country.
According to him the reallocation of the GH¢400 million will be to ensure that the fleets of State Owned Transport Companies are strengthened.
He said, “to this end, Government is reallocating GH¢400million for the acquisition of high-occupancy buses to strengthen the fleets of state-owned transport companies, including Metro Mass Transit and the State Transport Company (STC).”
The Minister said that Government hopes the “intervention will expand public transport capacity” particularly “along high-demand urban and intercity routes, reduce long passenger queues during peak hours, and provide commuters with a more reliable and efficient alternative to private vehicle use.”
