Vanef STC

Between Accra and all major cities within Ghana and some neighboring countries, you can take Vanef STC, Ghana's safest, most reliable transportation from city to city.  Unfortunately this speaks nothing of timeliness, for STC is known for delays.  Nonetheless, they are rarely involved in road accidents and the cost of getting from one end of Ghana to its opposite end can be as inexpensive as $7. Here are a list of rates to the most traveled areas:

Destinations:

•  
• Tamale (upper northern region, by Mole Natl. Park)              $7
• Kumasi (Ghana's second largest city)                                     $4
• Cape Coast (Home of the slave dungeons)                             $1.75
• Takoradi (Coastal town)                                                        $2.50
• Ho    (The beautiful Volta region)                                           $1.50

Please note that once you arrive to the city station, you will probably incur another charge of approximately $3 to your exact address.

Taxis and tro-tros

No trip to Ghana would be complete without a chauffer driven ride in our humble chariots.  Known, probably, as the worst drivers in the world, Ghana's taxi and tro-tro drivers maneuver through Accra's busy streets with menacing agility, giving new reason for road rage.  Yet and still they are cheap and in abundance.  One can get from one end of town to its opposite, in a packed tro-tro (mini-van) for 50 cents and in your private taxi the same ride might cost $3.  Either way, it is part of the Ghana experience.
