Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the new electronic buses to be introduced by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia are currently on their way to Ghana.

He noted that the introduction of electronic buses is set to transform the transportation sector and significantly lower commuting costs. It is expected to reduce transportation expenses by as much as 40%.

"Promise Made - Promise Delivered… Electric Buses are coming. No fuel cost, low maintenance. Public transport fare to be reduced by about 40%," Mr Nkansah wrote in a number of Facebook posts.

During his address at the Ofie Mega Walk in Akropong, Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), reiterated his commitment to reducing public transportation costs by at least 40% through the introduction of electric vehicles.

He confirmed that plans and estimates for the transition from traditional diesel, gas, and petrol-powered public transport to electric vehicles have been finalized, with the buses expected to arrive in Ghana before the December elections.

He emphasized that this shift will significantly lower transportation costs, ensuring the projected 40% reduction in public transport fares is realized promptly.
