We want development but we r our own worse enemies. At the end of the day we blame government for our subversions. We deserve a cultural change and national unity to achieve anything meaningful. The media needs to change and preach patriotism rather than politics. We have lost ourselves culturally and have forsaken what made us Ghanaians, Nkrumah is rolling in his grave. God bless Ghana.

Correct, and we blame the Government for corruption. Ghanaian's are more than the Gov. Shame on you.

When Ghana had Omnibus Service Authority buses, it was worse. People boarded them without tickets or half tickets. Just privatize them and see if this will not stop. Ghanaians, just like Nigerians are fantastically corrupt.

Even after this media revelations, nothing will change. Nobody fears anybody. Everybody wants to be as rich as John and Ibrahim Mahama and Asiedu Nketsia and Ativor and Woyome through the crooked route followed by the same.

It is not enough to sack them; they must also serve time in jail. They have defrauded the public and must be made to pay. Losing their jobs isn't enough since they can probably find another one.

This reporter thought he was going to embarrass the government. It turned out to be the lawlessness of one city known for doing things to embarrass the government. Shame.

The experience of this passenger is the experience of so many of us, and it is happening not only in Kumasi and Dunkwa but many other bus terminals.
If the station manager says he knows nothing about the sale of such tickets, it is a lie. They are the ones who collude with those women to cheat passengers. And this has been happening for a long time.

It is true. Not only from dunkwao to Kumasi BUT from Kumasi terminal to dunkwao as well. I went to the station for a ticket. But l was told by a woman that the bus is full but her boss have three to be sold, lucky for me we were three so l gave her forty Ghana cedis requesting for my change but the lady said it was a special seat ticket so the price is diff. from the others. I resist for my change but within asecons the lady told me that her boss is requesting for the ticket. She took the ticket from me and gave two to two Nigerian boys who were standing behind my sister. So left there and came back to kejetia for spinta car. Please this happened on Friday the date of April 8th 2016.around 9:30am

The practice started in 2007 Kumasi .what they is to give the tickets to the hawkers there and tell customers tickets are finished. The hawkers move around with the ticket and claim he bought it but he is no longer travelling you should add him something for his trotro.The passage knowing there are more tickets will have no choice but to buy.The top managers are aware of it .

We have every reason to blame the government, because the government itself is made up of thieving gangs. Secondly Ghana has become a lawless country anybody can steal state money and go Scout free.

They do the same shit at the Airport. Most of the domestic flights does the same thing. They look at your appearance before they tell you the price. Once they realize you don't live in Ghana then expect to pay ceazy amount or they tell you no more tickets. They did that to me before when I was going from Accra to Kumasi, only to find out during take off that there were only 7 of us on board of the whole damn flight.
