Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMT) is set to expand its fleet with the procurement of about 300 Isuzu buses by February 2026 as part of measures to address the growing shortage of public transport vehicles in Accra.
The announcement was made during a visit by Vice President Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang to the company’s headquarters in Accra on Friday, January 16. During the visit, MMT management outlined ongoing collaborations with private suppliers and investors aimed at expanding operations and improving service delivery.
Managing Director of MMT, Kale Cesar, disclosed that the company is also engaging private vendors to procure additional buses, including 15-seater Toyota Hiace buses and 30-seater Coaster buses, to strengthen transport services across the capital.
“We have a company that is going to supply us with about 300 Isuzu buses by next month, February. Your Excellency, we have also engaged other private vendors who will supply Toyota Hiace buses and some 30-seater Coaster buses,” he said.
Mr Cesar explained that the planned acquisitions form part of a broader strategy to increase the number of buses in active service and reduce pressure on the existing fleet.
He further revealed that MMT has already signed a contract with a private supplier for 100 electric buses, but funding constraints have delayed full delivery of the fleet.
“We already have an outstanding contract for EV buses. The contractor supplied only 10 units, and with the release of funds by the Ministry of Finance, the remaining 90 buses could be delivered,” he noted.
The Managing Director therefore appealed to the Ministry of Finance to release the required funds to facilitate the delivery of the remaining electric buses, stressing that the move would significantly enhance MMT’s operational capacity and improve public transport services.
