Ghana to get trams within the airport area

The Airport city area will soon be having trams; a light rail system.

The light rail system is one of the measures in addition to the introduction of overheads and expansion of road networks within the airport area to avoid traffic congestion.

Light rails operate on higher capacity of electricity. It runs on a railway known as Tramway. Visitors to London enjoy tram trips from Wimbledon to New Addington.

According to the Minister of Aviation, Joseph Kofi Adda, the expansion of the road networks and the introduction of additional means of transport is in response to concerns of possible congestion around the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) as traveller numbers continue to grow due to the expansion being witnessed in the aviation industry.

Mr Adda believes that putting in the additional road infrastructure will go a long way to avoid road traffic and improve the experience of visitors and tourists.
