STC strategise
for election/Christmas
Takoradi Dec. 24, Ghanadot/GNA - The State
Transport Company (STC) has said it will ensure that
passengers who use their buses during the Christmas and New
year seasons, have the best of service.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) Mr
Reginald Arthur Mensah, the station Manager, said due to the
high demand for their services during Christmas, they have
re-scheduled their buses to make it convenient for all to
travel to vote on Dec 28.
He said more buses will be made available to avoid undue
delays at their terminals.
Mr Mensah said series of refresher courses on defensive
driving, passenger and pedestrian safety, among others have
been organized for their drivers to improve their safety
record, safeguard human life and property and make
travelling by STC convenient, safe and reliable.
He hinted that a “door step service” where passengers can
board any STC bus in front of their homes, have been
introduced.
Mr Mensah said the focus of the “door step service”, is to
reduce stress, late arrivals at the terminals and encourage
more patrons of the STC to continually use their services
for their personal and commercial interests.
He said new ticket joints have been commissioned within many
parts of the country to enable its customers to secure their
tickets, adding that two of such places in the Western
Region are the Inchaban and Kwesimintsim.
Mr Mensah advised passengers to comport
themselves whenever they were on any STC buses, to prevent
injury and accidental fall.
They should also ensure that they did not throw away waste
materials onto the road, he said.
He reminded pedestrians to respect road user rules, use the
approved routes and avoid competing with vehicles for space.
