Aayalolo
Aayalolo is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system operating in Accra, Ghana. It is formally known as the Quality Bus System (QBS). The name "Aayalolo" originates from the Ga language, meaning "still moving on" or "we are still moving." It reflects the system's aim to continuously improve and address transportation challenges in the city.
The Aayalolo system aims to provide a reliable, efficient, and affordable public transportation option for residents of Accra. It operates on dedicated bus lanes to avoid traffic congestion, thereby reducing travel times. The buses are designed to be accessible to people with disabilities.
The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Ghanaian government to modernize the public transportation infrastructure and alleviate traffic congestion in Accra, a city experiencing rapid population growth and urbanization. Funding for the project has come from both domestic and international sources.
The Aayalolo system has faced challenges, including infrastructure development delays, operational hurdles, and public adoption. Expansion plans have been implemented in phases, and continuous improvements are being made to enhance its effectiveness and reach.
