Speaking on Accra-based Channel One TV on Friday, January 16, Safo said the operational challenges are affecting Aayalolo’s core mandate of easing traffic congestion in major urban centres. He explained that buses designed to operate on dedicated lanes are frequently caught in general traffic, significantly affecting turnaround times. Of the 245 buses initially delivered for Aayalolo operations, 72 were reassigned by the previous Transport Ministry to other metropolitan areas, including Kumasi, Sekondi-Takoradi, and Tamale. He added that as of Thursday, between 12 and 13 buses across various corridors had been sent to workshops for maintenance and repairs. Despite these challenges, Safo stressed that Aayalolo remains committed to delivering efficient mass transit services but will require additional support and improved traffic management measures to effectively fulfil its mandate.
