The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has announced that 100 new 29-seater buses have arrived in the country as part of efforts to ease recent public transport challenges.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, April 5, 2026, he said the buses form part of a total of 300 procured by government to improve transport services and reduce pressure on commuters.
“In the mean time, 100 29-seater buses have arrived in the country to ease recent road transport challenges. They form part of 300 procured for the purpose. Another batch of 100 will arrive in August with the last batch of 100 arriving in November,” he stated.
The development follows recent vehicle shortages in parts of the country, which left commuters stranded at transport terminals and bus stops.
Government has previously said it is working to resolve the situation, with the Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, indicating that steps are being taken to address the disruptions affecting daily commuters.
The new buses are expected to provide immediate relief, while additional batches scheduled for August and November are aimed at further strengthening public transport capacity nationwide.
