The Deputy Managing Director in charge of Operations and Technical at Metro Mass Transit Limited, Haruna Apaw-Wiredu, has appealed to state security agencies to help the company reclaim its Opera Square transport yard in Accra.
Speaking to the media, he said Metro Mass Transit needs the space to prepare for the arrival of 300 buses expected to support the government’s proposed 24-hour transport service.
He explained that the company has already informed the Accra Metropolitan Assembly about plans to reorganise the yard to create room for the incoming buses.
According to him, John Dramani Mahama indicated in his State of the Nation Address that by the end of April, government will receive 300 buses, which will be handed over to Metro Mass Transit to operate the 24-hour transport service.
“We are calling on Economic and Organised Crime Office, National Security Secretariat and the Ghana Police Service to help us reclaim our Opera Square yard so we can make the necessary arrangements ahead of the arrival of the 300 buses,” he said.
He therefore appealed to the security agencies to use the authority granted to them by government to assist Metro Mass Transit in reclaiming the Opera Square transport yard so the company can operate smoothly when the buses arrive.
