What is tro tro ghana?

Tro tro is the most common mode of public transport in Ghana. It is a minibus or van that runs on fixed routes and can carry up to 20 passengers. Tro tro is often overcrowded and uncomfortable, but it is also cheap and convenient.

Tro tro is regulated by the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC), which sets fares and routes. However, many tro tro drivers and conductors operate without a license or insurance, and accidents are common.

To ride a tro tro in Ghana, passengers typically flag it down from the side of the road and tell the driver where they want to go. Fares are paid to the conductor, who collects money from passengers and issues change. Tro tro stops are not fixed, but rather determined by passenger demand.

Tro tro is an important mode of transport for many Ghanaians, particularly those living in rural areas. It is also a key driver of the informal economy, as many drivers and conductors are self-employed. Despite its flaws, tro tro remains an essential part of Ghanaian daily life.
