Transport and best ways to travel around Ghana

Public transportation is the easiest way to get around in Ghana. We’ve described some of the most used modes of transportation below.

Buses – The bus system is managed by the Ghana State Transport Corporation (STC) and is a safe and affordable option for short and long-distance travel throughout the country.
You can purchase your tickets online for some trips, but most tickets must be purchased at the bus station.

Tro-Tro – These are local mini buses that transport anything from passengers to farm animals. We do not advise travelers to use this mode of transport due to safety concerns, but it can be a very affordable way to travel short distances.

Okada – These are motor-taxis, and are a fast but dangerous way to reach your destination. If you do take a ride with an Okada, always make sure that there is a helmet available for both the driver and passenger.

Taxis – Taxis are the easiest and safest option; however, the prices can be relatively high. Always negotiate a fixed price with the driver before taking a trip.
