The Britist Underground rail system is over 150years old.Are we really saying that Ghana cannot copy what our British Friends did one hundred and fifty years ago????I find that extremely hard to accept.They built their underground rail system without the aid of computers and mordern tunneling machinery which are readily available on the market today.I don't really know whatelse Ghana needs to start at least trying to do some of these thing for ourselves.I hope our leaders understand that doing some of these things for ourselves means more jobs in our economy?

What was I seeing? Firstly I didn'#t know there was a train line in that area!
Secondly, that our trains were even working!!. I was actually on my way to Spintex Road via the Accra Mall.
Well Done to whoever thought about commuters travelling from Accra Central to Tema, at least it eases traffic congestion, gets commuters to and from work on time, And I hope it is not packed like the tube or the metro in the West!!

WE SAY: That is a lie, false, and nonsensical!
Having the 3rd longest system is not the same as being the best. Russian railways does not beat US or China, or Japanese railway, in most respects.
A useful measure would be how many rail miles per country, by type (passenger or freight), or accident rate, or on time rate, per 1,000 of the people, etc, all being associated with indicators of Level of Service (LOS), so to speak.
But, since that type of data is not available to us, we can look at level of activity.
Russian Railway is nowhere near the top 12, or top 20, even.
In addition, industry-wise, Russia does not feature in the top "World's largest railway companies, per market value of the system. All the top 10 are in the US, Japan, or China.
All this to say the Government of Ghana ought to be careful so they do not waste money selecting the wrong partner(s) for Ghana railways.
Let's not fool Ghanaians for political or corrupt reasons.

Kwaku, look at you calling somebody "stupid indeed !!!"
They can only reach target when they allow the railway corporation to work independently void of government book long and freebies all the time for certain people in the country.
