Metro Mass Transit is facing a severe fleet shortage, with over 400 buses broken down, according to Deputy MD Haroun Apau-Wiredu. He told TV3 that many buses are unrepairable, and spare parts for salvageable ones are scarce in West Africa, worsening Accra's transport crisis. #3NewsGH #TV3GH

I doubt they're unrepairable. Maybe if their parts are unavailable I'll understand. But I really doubt they cant repair them. What exactly were they used for that they all broke down as such? They were only being used as hire busses. Before we buy new, we must repair all these

So Metro Mass cannot tell us how much each fleet of the buses made before getting spoilt? They worked with the buses and chopped the monies. They are waiting for government to buy fresh buses

So the 400 broken down buses pick the usable parts and substitute into the not so broken buses. I am confident at least half of these can be fixed locally by local mechanics using salvaged parts from these same buses.

Your maintenance culture in this country is mind boggling. This has been the refrain. We can't manage and maintain our fleet and it cuts across. STC Ayalolo buses and most government transport systems are poorly maintained. Even our presidential aircraft suffered corrosion.

Please move these buses to Kumasi magazine or whatever the name is and see the magic that will happen, all these buses will come back solid to hit our roads. Must we always throw money around to always bring brand new buses ad3n!

On Sunday afternoon, in a drive at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus in Malda, names, logos and stickers mimicking those of government buses were removed from several private buses. Many private buses were operating with colour schemes (blue and white) and names resembling those of the state transport corporation. The use of such colours and names was causing confusion among passengers, particularly women. Following an order from the state government, free travel for women on government buses was introduced on 1 June. However, due to the visual similarity between government and private buses, many female passengers were inadvertently boarding private buses and subsequently getting hassled. Some private buses were displaying names like NBTS, MBTSG, and MMT to mimic the name of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC). Additionally, the vehicles were painted blue and white, just like government buses. On Sunday afternoon, Anupam Chakraborty, the regional transport officer (RTO) of the district, arrived at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus with transport department staff. There, misleading logos and stickers were removed from several private buses. Furthermore, markings and text imitating the state transport corporation’s branding were painted over with black ink. Passengers expressed relief at this move by the transport department. They believe that a clear distinction between government and private buses will prevent future confusion and significantly reduce harassment, especially for female passengers. Maloy Karmakar, in charge of the Malda Depot of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation, stated that the blue-and-white colour scheme has been used on NBSTC buses for many years, and the colour of private buses is not within their jurisdiction. However, he noted that female passengers often ask if a bus is a government one; NBSTC buses are painted blue and white as per government regulations, while the RTO office would be the authority to speak on bus colour specifications.

GENIUS: Vermont Spent Millions on Electric Buses That Turned Out to be 'Unreliable' in Cold Weather | Mike LaChance, The Gateway Pundit Behold the genius of liberalism. Like so many blue states, Vermont decided to ‘go green’ and spent millions on electric buses. There’s just one little problem. It turns out that they’re not reliable in cold weather. It’s a good thing they never get cold weather in Vermont, right? Except for maybe just six months out of the year, of course. The Vermont Daily Chronicle reports: Vermont EV buses prove unreliable for transportation this winter Electric buses are proving unreliable this winter for Vermont’s Green Mountain Transit, as it needs to be over 41 degrees for the buses to charge, but due to a battery recall the buses are a fire hazard and can’t be charged in a garage. Spokesman for energy workers advocacy group Power the Future Larry Behrens told the Center Square: “Taxpayers were sold an $8 million ‘solution’ that can’t operate in cold weather when the home for these buses is in New England.” “We’re beyond the point where this looks like incompetence and starts to smell like fraud,” Behrens said. “When government rushes money out the door to satisfy green mandates, basic questions about performance, safety, and value for taxpayers are always pushed aside,” Behrens said. “Americans deserve to know who approved this purchase and why the red flags were ignored.” General manager at Green Mountain Transit (GMT) Clayton Clark told The Center Square that “the federal government provides public transit agencies with new buses through a competitive grant application process, and success is not a given.” ... Who could have predicted that this would not end well? Besides everyone. ... Sure, the buses don’t work and millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted, but the important thing is that progressives felt better about themselves for a little while. That’s what’s really important here, isn’t it?

On behalf of the Minister for Transport, Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, under whose leadership I serve, I had the privilege of joining the management of Metro Mass Transit in Egypt for the final inspection of three hundred (300) ISUZU buses slated for delivery to Ghana. This important undertaking reflects the Minister’s clear vision and policy direction to strengthen Ghana’s public transport system through strategic investment in modern, reliable, and efficient mass transit. The arrival of these buses will significantly expand fleet capacity, improve service coverage, reduce long waiting times, and enhance safety and comfort for commuters. In practical terms, this intervention will ease the daily burden on workers, students, and traders, help decongest our roads, lower overall transport costs, and contribute to a more orderly and environmentally responsible urban transport system. I am sincerely grateful to Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe for the trust and confidence placed in me to carry out this assignment. His guidance and leadership continue to drive the Ministry’s efforts toward delivering practical solutions that directly impact the lives of citizens. The Ministry of Transport remains firmly committed to implementing its mandate with purpose and accountability, ensuring that initiatives such as this translate into real benefits for the Ghanaian people and advance the Better Ghana Agenda through a resilient, inclusive, and efficient national transport network. #jomoromp #deputytransportminister #jomoroanyelazo

OAU transport system was near perfect, adequate buses and bikes, we rarely experienced queues until the First Lady came and decided she didn’t like the ease of transportation and introduced “change” by donating CNG buses. The school management in turn banned all motorcycles and commercial buses on campus and subjected over 30,000 students to just about 50 buses and a few tricycles. OAU has one of the largest land masses of any Nigerian university, yet students are now stranded daily. This is a Monday morning where students are supposed to rush for class, but they are stuck at the campus gate because of the inefficiency of the CNG buses. Students are struggling to go to class in the morning and in the evenings to even get back to their hostels. Students staying off campus now spend almost double to get to campus, all alternative transport means have been removed The management have cars to bypass all of this, but majority of students do not. Yet they released statements talking about how the buses will “ease transportation” and even implied students appreciate the system. Meanwhile, students are trekking, missing classes, and spending hours in queues. Let it be clear that students do not appreciate this system. It has made our lives harder, not better. What used to be a smooth system has now become a daily struggle. There are many pressing issues in this school, but they chose to dismantle a working transport system and replace it with hardship. We can no longer remain silent. Let the whole world know what OAU students are going through. Please if you come across this tweet, help us retweet it whether you are an OAU student or not We demand our towngboro buses and motorcycles back.

This is the current situation at St Mary’s Bridge in Chitungwiza, a dormitory town next to Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare. Residents of this town are being forced to walk home on foot after the Zimbabwean police blocked kombis from going beyond the bridge. Kombis are minibus taxis commonly used for public transport in Zimbabwe and are the main form of urban transport in the country. It is quite disheartening because Zimbabwe once had a thriving public transport system in all cities and towns, with buses comparable to those in many modern countries, but ZANUPF destroyed it. Chitungwiza, for instance, had a bus company called ZimElectro Motors (ZEM), which played a crucial role in providing affordable public transport for residents commuting between Chitungwiza and Harare during its operation. ZEM was owned by the Chitungwiza Town Council and was a municipally-run bus company established to provide affordable and reliable transport for residents of the town. However, when ZANUPF came into power, the company was driven into the ground. Money was looted, and unqualified managers were appointed. The rest, as they say, is history. Zimbabweans must realise that nobody is coming to save them from this abusive regime. Imagine people walking for kilometres simply because they are subjected to a useless and incompetent government that does not care about its citizens! Imagine walking from Elephant and Castle to the West End because the British Police has stopped available public transport after the government had destroyed London Underground ground and the London Transport buses or walking from Sandton City to Rosebank on foot.
