Inside a Ghanaian tro-tro

By Jonatan Arriaga,

When I arrived in Ghana I started wondering where the buses were! I just could see an army of little screaming-vans in the streets. This little vans are adorned with a man in the main door, a man who tries to shout louder than the other screamers from the other van services.

These little talking-vans are called Tro-Tros. At first it is a bit tricky to understand how they work but once you have received an induction and you have learned the main junction names is when the yelling men in the tro-tros start to make sense. They scream out loud the name of route/junction they are going to!

The tro-tro has space for about 12 passengers including the talking man that will not forget that you haven’t paid!

It is always a new world to discover everyday inside one of these little speaking-travel machines.
