QUICK FARES

HOW LORRY FARES ARE DETERMINED

Bus fares within and to outside the city are determined by the Unions. Once that value is set, all operators are obliged to comply. However, there are vehicles who do not belong to these cooperatives. For this reason, they may decide to price their charges higher r lower than those of the organizations, The  buses that board from the terminals charge the same fares whilst cruising trotros do differently. Passengers will pay pro rata if they alight along way with the roaming operators but once they get on the bus from the stations, the full charge for the station is paid no matter where they get down. Also, coaches charge slightly higher than the converted vans.

ALTERNATE ROUTES

There are alternate routes for trotro drivers to reach their destinations. The trotro fares here are also based on the longest option so its possible a passenger may pay slightly less on a given journey depending on choice of route by driver.

ROUTING

Accra trotro buses determine fares by factoring in passenger availability along routes.  A route must be profitable to deserve a commuter service.  A profitable route is defined by density of passenger traffic over distance.  So a longer route may cost less whilst a shorter route may cost more depending on estimated capacity of trotro bus before it makes a return journey. Passengers pay full fare when boarding from a Terminal no matter what point they alight along the way.
