A critical public transport hub, the Kinbu Aayalolo Bus Terminal in the Central Business District of Accra, has become the centre of a dangerous standoff, pitting “party boys” against state security and crippling a key Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service.
The terminal, an essential part of the Aayalolo BRT system introduced in 2016 to relieve traffic in the capital, has been illegally occupied since the December elections, according to officials from the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE).
