Regional News of Friday, 6 April 2018Source: Graphic.com.ghCommuters shun Sekondi-Takoradi train shuttlehe terminals are empty after the morning and evening trips, with cabins mostly empty. More than a year after the inauguration of the train shuttle service between Sekondi and Takoradi, the Ghana Railway Company (GRC) is yet to break even due to low patronage of the service by commuters. So instead of spending GH¢2, we end up spending GH¢3.50 or GH¢7 daily on transportation.”VisitWhen the Daily Graphic visited the Takoradi Harbour, Kojokrom and Sekondi terminals of the shuttle service after the morning shuttle, it observed that the station was quiet immediately after the shuttle had arrived. She explained that with the shuttle service, the commuters were in control of their time, as they could arrive at their destinations in time and that could boost productivity. “That notwithstanding, the more-than-600 capacity shuttle train remains less patronised but we are working at it to get more people to patronise it,” she said.
