Accra trotro

Accra trotro buses are taking the Abeka township route to Lapaz. Instead of the regular direct route from the Total filling station that passes through neighborhoods like Market and Post Office, the trotro buses now sometimes turn left at Abeka junction, maze through Nii Boi township and then turn right at the Mallam intersection to position themselves at the boarding bay; ready to pick passengers to Accra. The trotro route detour affords passengers going downtown Abeka or Nii Boi Town some comfort cos they can alight within the township and no longer need to walk from the original drop point close to the Post Office. The detour however means passengers looking to reach Lapaz quickly will encounter a longer trip.

The trotro buses that go to inner city destinations like Accra, Tudu, Okaishie are parked under the eastern overhead bridge at Kaneshie. They first stop at Obestebi Circle before picking either of two routes. The Abossey Okai route stops at Central mosque, Ayigbe Town, Estate, Korle Bu junction, Agbado, UTC, Akoto Lante, Post Office, then reenters the circuit through Accra Central to Kaneshie. If the operator chooses the Graphic Road route from Obetsebi, then it goes through Beyeeman Coldstore, Graphic,  Kingsway, then to Railways. Trotro buses that go through this alternate route have a different return trip. On the way back to Kaneshie, they pass through UTC, Tudu, Zenith Bank, then at Star Light, they turn west to Graphic, stop at Toyota House, Francopat cold store, then to Pam...

A view of the Circle interchange from the Kaneshie trotro station. This photo was taken in 2016 when the bridge was under construction. The steel guilders were offloaded by a low loader and then hoisted by a crane upwards,then welding crews adjoined beams till they form a seamless road.

This concave steel guilder overhangs the Circle Kaneshie trotro station. It provides access route to Accra for vehicles approaching atop from Osu. The road is part of the three tier Circle interchange built by the Mahama NDC administration in 2016 and adjudged to be the longest interchange in West Africa. This picture was taken during the construction stage. Today, the space below the overpass is an ultra modern bus terminal.

The Accra Oxford street mall trotro stop is between Papaye trotro stop and Goil stop on the Independence square Cantonments trotro route. Some of the trotro stops along the route include Danquah circle, Koala, GIS, Aquinas, and Lands.
