METRO MASS TRANSIT GETS PERMANENT TERMINAL (PAGE 20)

A NEW regional permanent terminal for the Metro Mass Transit (MMT) Limited is expected to be ready in Koforidua soon.
The terminal, which is located close to the offices of the Graphic Communications Group Limited, when completed, would make it possible for the company’s buses to be loaded in a serene atmosphere.
Currently, the buses, which ply almost all the major routes in the region, have been using a section of the main street close to the Ghana Commercial Bank as its terminal and this does not only create vehicular traffic, but also inconveniences for pedestrians and passengers.
Inspecting the uncompleted terminal at the weekend, the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, expressed dissatisfaction about the current situation at where the buses load and asked the contractor working on the new terminal to complete the project on time.
He also directed the chief engineer of the New Juaben Municipal Assembly to ensure that the access road to the new terminal was completed as soon as possible.
Inspecting the access road to the regional offices of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), the regional minister stressed the need for the road to be put to good shape without delay.
The Regional Depot Manager of the MMT, Mr Lawrence Fianu, thanked the regional minister for his concern on the operations of the MMT and gave the assurance that the company would continue to render quality services to the people.
