Ghana’s public transport operator, Metro Mass Transit will, today, Wednesday, unveil ten fleet of electric buses as part of Ghana’s effort to reduce carbon emissions and also provide the cheapest means of transport to commuters.
Sources within Metro Mass Transit told this portal that the ten vehicles would be used as a pilot before a nationwide rollout.
The buses arrived in the West African nation last month.
Ghana’s Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is expected to officially unveil the buses in Adenta, a suburb of Accra.
It would be recalled that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who is also the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the upcoming General Elections, announced few months ago that the government was considering introducing electric buses for public transport.
