When Transport Beats Time ...........( PART I )

                               

Walking on the railway right behind Accra Brewery Limited, en route to Agbogbloshie market, made me wonder if my village was too close.Is this railway actually in accra? This railway is partially buried in the sand with foreign materials all around it. However, the rail way behind Unilever Ghana tells me the future is bright. This railway looks so clean, with a very good train stop that is capable of attracting every Tom,Dick and Harry,in fact irrespective of the person's status which can significantly draw more people in patronising it. Imagine such structures at different locations, wouldn't that promote the transportation sector by adding value, minimising air pollution and intense traffic,how about productivity? Is this dream ever possible? Many a times there are agitations with regards to roads, either there are no road networks or deteriorating roads. Do we consider the rail system as an option in solving this road problems? Or we only serve them with temporarily solutions as we get caught in traffic jams in the future, where we spend so many hours just to leap an inch. That sucks right! Ide3 pain rof’

, especially when the sun is so hot and the car accumulates so much heat, imagine a ‘trotro’ with no AC stucked in traffic for hours. The worst happens if the car right in front of you emits so much smoke from its exhaust and you get to inhale all these toxic gases into your body.

Recently I attended a conference organized by Bicycle for all friends (BFAF), on how students can patronize the use of bicycle riding on campus, nice initiative, I wish them well though. However, I prefer to graduate to something a bit higher and more efficient.  Imagine a more advanced, efficient, safer means of transport of goods and services, a train system that can transport us from one destination to the other. Not just any train system, but a system that reduces vehicular stress.Imagine, a train taking 5 minutes maximum to get you to work. Wouldn't that be so sweet. Huh!?so fast...woooooh!.

Wow! My appointments would definitely be secured on time, that interview you were late for just because you were stuck in traffic, is solved. How about that habit of getting home late and waking up very early. Hmmm…. Small rest pee3! Yet more is expected from you at work. Everyone assumes you are very fine yet your strength wears off gradually. Can this translate into high productivity? ‘SMH’, unfortunately kids have become victims, since mum and dad want to avoid traffic, they wake these innocent kids up, as early as 3am. Won’t these kids dose in class after all? What would they even learn in school? This challenge has even denied some kids from seeing dad and mum during the weekdays. Mum and Dad are only available during the weekend. Very Funny. I am looking forward to everyone owning a car someday in Ghana, what a wonderful city it would be. Traffic from the entrance of your gate right to work, it will be soo much fun. Crawling, crawling, and crawling just like a chameleon. A day when the city will be choked with cars.

AM WAITING FOR A DAY WHEN THE COMPETITION WILL BE BASED on WHICH TRAIN IS MORE RELIABLE, FAST AND COMFORTABLE. When all our ‘Big’ men who cannot do without their cars would prefer to use the train , when a life won’t be lost cos the specialist could not beat traffic to save a life, when workers will sleep well and no more excuses for lateness, lol!!. Am waiting for that day WHEN entrepreneurs will invest in the train business. I am waiting FOR THAT DAY, when road accidents will be significantly minimized….#JUST THAT DAY……
