The Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE), managers of
\nthe Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), aka Ayalolo, says it is stepping up its operations.\n<\/p>\n

The GAPTE said they would resume operations on the Adenta, Dawenya
\nand Tema Community 1 routes from September.<\/p>\n

The transport system has already resumed its operations on Amasaman,
\nOfankor, Pokuase and Achimota to Tudu routes.<\/p>\n

Charles Annan, Depot Manager at GAPTE, said on Friday that the
\ndeployment is starting from the 2nd<\/sup> of September, saying \u201cyou will
\nsee the Ayalolo buses from Adenta to CBD, Dawenya through the motorway to the CBD
\nand Tema Community 1 through the beach road to the CBD.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told journalists during a courtesy call by the Swedish Ambassador
\nto Nigeria and Ghana, Staffan Tillander, to the Greater Accra Regional
\nMinister, Ismael Ashitey, in Accra that some 185 buses had been procured solely
\nfor the transport system.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom September to December, all the Ayalolo buses that are parked
\nat Achimota need to be deployed and the board of the GAPTE has approved that
\nthey be deployed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Regional Minister Mr. Ashitey expressed disappointment that the
\nproject which aimed at making public transport more convenient to residents of
\nAccra had to be shut down.<\/p>\n

He said the Regional Coordinating Council is open to discussion on
\nhow to actively involve metropolitan municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) in
\nthe region to revamp the transport system.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Tillander, in his remarks, called on stakeholders to work
\nassiduously to ensure that the BRT system is fully operational again. <\/p>\n

Management of the company on October 25, 2018 announced a suspension
\nof its operations because of technical challenges.<\/p>\n

Lack of routes to allow for the free movement of Ayalolo buses under
\nthe BRT in Accra was one of the main reasons for the suspension of the bus
\nservice, according to the Ministry of Transport.<\/p>\n
