\u201cWe are currently at Crown Agents for value for money audit and once that is completed, the buses will come down,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Out of the 295 buses, 50 will be given to STC while the Bus Rapid Transit will have 145 buses.<\/p>\n
According to her, 10 prototype buses will be brought in immediately Crown Agents gives the clearance.<\/p>\n
This is to allow drivers to be trained on how to operate the BRT buses and also get conversant with the routes they will ply.<\/p>\n
\u201cTen of the BRT buses will come as soon as Crown Agents give us the go ahead because the prototypes have been manufactured already and that is what we will be using to train the drivers,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Ativor said the government is \u201cvery, very anxious and once they give us the go ahead, everything is on course to deliver the buses,\u201d adding that \u201cthe approval that was given us is about a $100 million.\u201d<\/p>\n The BRT project was originally scheduled to begin in December 2014<\/strong><\/span><\/a> but the government has now fixed March 2015<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for the project to begin.<\/p>\n The project was introduced by government with support from the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD) and it intends to enhance mobility of Ghanaians \u00a0by ensuring an efficient public transit system in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"BRT\"](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/100_3679.jpg\")
