Return of transport business in Hohoe courtesy ‘Big Push’ – Worlanyo Tsekpo writes

Today, I received a message which was followed by a call from one of the senior managers of VIP Transport, Mr. Attipoe, informing me of their decision to deploy three VIP buses to Hohoe to operate on the Hohoe–Kumasi, Hohoe–Accra, and Hohoe–Tamale routes. A discussion that is on the table of the Municipal Chief Executive, who is working on a permit for them.

This is certainly good news for the people of Hohoe, especially considering that for a long time no major bus company has stationed buses here due to the poor state of our roads. Currently, Metro Mass Transit operates only once a day, and by 10:00 a.m., tickets are usually sold out, forcing passengers to wait until the next day.

However, with the renewed commitment of the John Mahama government toward improving our link roads, Hohoe is gradually becoming attractive to investors again. Just last week, the Regional Manager of Metro Mass Transport visited me in Alavanyo to express their interest in introducing new buses to operate from Hohoe, and they have already begun collaborating with the Municipal Assembly to make this a reality.

Additionally, we have a pending meeting with STC to explore the possibility of them resuming operations from Hohoe. All these developments will help open up the economy of Hohoe and create employment opportunities for our youth.

Very soon, we will also complete the bus terminal at Avega (currently under construction), which will serve as the central station for the fleet of buses that wish to use Hohoe as a major transportation hub. Thank you, President Mahama, thank you, Hon. Agbodza, for the BIG PUSH which has started changing lives and rewriting our History.

Together, we will surely move Hohoe to the Next Level.
