Electric buses to operate in Ghana soon – Bawumia

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced plans for Ghana to introduce electric buses for public transportation, starting with a pilot in Accra by the end of 2024.

Speaking at a stakeholders' engagement in Kaneshie, Bawumia, who is also the NPP’s 2024 flagbearer, said the initiative aims to reduce transportation costs by 40%.

He explained that high transport fares are driven by fuel and spare parts costs, which the electric bus system would help alleviate.

Bawumia also emphasized job creation as a key focus to address youth unemployment.
