Road transport is the principal mode of transport in Ghana (for both freight and passenger). Mass transport by train and waterway are in a developing stage. It is estimated that only 15 % of the road users use a private car, i.e the other 85 % travel by foot or make use of public transport. Four main ways of public transport in Ghana are:

It is said that Ghana is the country with most taxis of the world. A taxi will be shared by 4 or 5 passengers.
 

The name trotro means coin - coin and refers to the little amount should be paid to travel from one place to another. Without doubt, the trotro is the most common way to travel for Ghanaians.
 

Commuter buses are used by a few transport organizations to perform long distance transport. AS well private  companies use commuter buses to collect and deliver staff from and to their homes. MMT operates commuter buses in the main corridors of the cities and to the outskirts. This is what we call intra-city mass transport.

Railway transport in Ghana is still in a development stage, the southern sector is the only portion of the country benefiting at the moment. The northern part of the country is soon to be connected with the national rail line after the completion of the tracks connecting the south to the north.
