Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to transform public transportation in Ghana—the Tap n’ Go Transport service. Launched initially with Metro Mass Transit Limited’s Inter-City Services, this innovative system is poised to revolutionize how Ghanaians commute, promising efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Addressing long-standing challenges plaguing the transport sector, including corruption and lack of transparency, the Tap n’ Go system represents a bold step towards a more digitally empowered transportation system.
Vice President Bawumia hailed the initiative as a pivotal moment in Ghana’s digital journey towards a cashless society, building on the success of previous digitalization efforts in critical sectors such as the Port, DVLA, Passport Office, NHIS, and Registrar General Department.
The Tap n’ Go system offers a seamless experience for both passengers and operators, with a multi-functional card or mobile app facilitating payment across various modes of transport, from taxis to trotros and even railways. Unlike previous closed-loop systems, Tap n’ Go boasts expansive features tailored to support diverse transportation services, promising integration and convenience.
