According to Nana Akomea, the Intercity State Transport Corporation which previously struggled to make four trips to Kumasi, its main market, is now making an average of 18 trips daily to the Garden City barely a few months after securing a location at Nkrumah Circle. According to him, after a careful study of customer behaviour, they realized that even though most Ghanaians prefer ISTC because of its safety, the location of the state transport terminal was a disincentive for their clients. The booming private transportation sector had pitched camp in Kwame Nkrumah Circle with their luxurious buses. This took the market from the state transport operator.
