Private cars, taxis, trotros, okadas barred from Ayalolo lanes during peak hours
Private cars, taxis, trotros, okadas and trucks will be barred from lanes designated for Ayalolo buses during peak hours when a pilot contraflow system begins on Tuesday, September 29. The pilot, being implemented by the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE), will cover the Amasaman, Pokuase, Kasoa and Adenta corridors. Motorists who use the designated contraflow lanes during the restricted hours will be taken to court. Under the pilot arrangement, Ayalolo buses travelling towards the Accra Central Business District (CBD) will use lanes normally reserved for traffic moving in the opposite direction between 6am and 9am. In the evening, between 4pm and 7pm, Ayalolo buses travelling out of the CBD will use lanes normally designated for vehicles heading towards the CBD.
