    In today's vlog I took the TRAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GHANA.
    I TOOK THE TRAIN IN THE WESTERN REGION OF GHANA SPECIFICALLY SEKONDI TO TAKORADI.
    MY TRAIN RIDE was interesting.
    The train ride is 2 cedis for adults and 1 cedi for students.
    The train system in Ghana has been in operation for 5 years now and it operates morning and evening.
    It is fair to say that the TRAIN RIDE IS THE CHEAPEST TRANSPORTATION IN GHANA.
    I will love everyone to have this experience.

      You hit the nail on the head. The same comment I was going to write when I read yours.
      I pray that the trains are kept clean, no dropping of rubbish inside and the toilets are kept clean. These are the most important issues.
      Lastly, I hope money from ticket sales would go to the right coffers, so that the trains can be maintained fro. The funds. God help us.🙏🏽

We should not be waiting for handouts and free money in our pockets without working for it. We should think about the future and not only what we’re going to eat today, but rather what can we as citizens contribute to help our beloved Ghana 🇬🇭 a mindset that will help us do better and not just sit around waiting for our next free meal.we are better than that.

Abuja city has two train lines operating within the city and another train connecting Abuja and kaduna city and trust me they are more sleek than this this painted bus on a track. Lagos also has an sgr line connecting Abuja-Abeokuta and Ibadan. And the $5.3bn Lagos- Abuja just commenced. Lagos as a city is expecting Atleast two light rail lines(blue line and red line) to be completed by the end of the year, yet no one talks about it. You just got this montane you are making noise about. I don’t know what I the find ugliest,either the train or the station itself 😂👍
