Thumbs up to GPRTU

Dear Editor,

I wish to commend the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) for measures put in place to ensure discipline among drivers at the Neoplan Station at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

The taskforce does not allow drivers to park or pick up passengers at prohibited zones leading to the main station. Lately, they are on standby at the terminal to ensure the drivers adhere to their revised rules and regulations.

From spot fines to clamping of vehicles, the taskforce has so far been able to maintain discipline among the drivers. Until recently, pedestrians could not stand the chaos at the entrance of the terminal as floating drivers at the entrance of the terminal jostled for passengers.

The taskforce, in their now smarter outfit, parade the terminal from morning till evening and are quick to take further action against drivers who defy their orders. I believe their renewed effort is in line with that of the Metropolitan authorities to ensure the capital city becomes tidy.

Meanwhile, I want to urge GPRTU to check their personnel who connive with some drivers to break the law, after they have been given small monetary favours. They should be focused on preserving the existing sanity in the area while city authorities focus on other areas.

The general public should as well collaborate with the taskforce so together we can attain the common objective of making ‘Accra Work Again.’

Richael Ammah,

Accra.
