The local chairman of the Kumasi-Bibiani lorry terminal of the GPRTU, Kwadwo Agyei, has revealed that despite the Christmas pressure on operations, the route recorded zero accidents.
According to him, their drivers heeded to advice in abiding by road traffic regulations which helped in recording accident-free Christmas.
Speaking to Adom News, he said aside from the accident-free, they also ensured fared were not increased irrespective of passengers crowding the station.
He said most of the lorry terminals were charging overboard due to the high human traffic.
“We recorded high sales during Christmas, but now it has returned to its normal routine, which we are expecting the same from next week when school reopens,” he said.
Kwadwo Agyei wants the government to prioritize fixing potholes on the roads, which he says contribute significantly to accidents.
The commercial drivers also expect reduction in prices of spare parts.
“Now some of the items are normal; the government should stabilize it,” he said.
Some passengers said the transportation challenges are gradually easing.
