I am currently in school but would like to talk about this topic based on how the road network in my area back at home is. The main road that’s the one leading from my locality to town or the city of my region is tiled with coal. But the road is not in a good shape as at now. The roads were actually constructed over some long time ago.
Which has rendered it to be developing some pot holes in it. Also, due to the increase in number of the people in my locality or the district, the road is now becoming inaccessible due to the traffic jam that has been happening almost every single day due to the number of automobiles using the road. It isn’t a double road so it is something crowded with cars which has been causing a lot of traffic jams and accidents. Which is a very serious issue that need to be attended to.
Also, the roads from our various homes leading to the main road is in a very bad and dangerous shape. This is because they are just bare road that hasn’t been tiled with coal. Therefore with how the settlement and buildings are being layout in my locality, these roads happen to be the channel through which rain water and water from our houses pass. There rarely gutters dug around the roads there by causing them to facing a serious deep cut and stagnant water bodies as a result of erosion. Which also need to be attended to.
Actually the most used means of transport is the mini bus and the taxi. This is what most of us seem to be the safest way to town. Also, these means of transportation have been in the system for some good number of years now. Which is why I have also chosen to use the mini bus the most. Also, the mini bus is some how less costly. That’s with the transportation fares. So it mostly patronized by many people.
In case of attending some where important and i happen to be in a hurry, i at times try to pick the tricycle as the source of my transportation. This is because the tricycles are the best automobiles that beats traffic on the road in my district or locality.
The most used and popular public transportation means in my area is the mini bus and a taxi. But looking at where i usually go, i happen to be using the mini bus a lot. This is because some of the distances seem to be a bit long so the best automobile for such journey is the mini bus.
With the price of the transportation, it isn’t that fix. This is because the transport union is not organized. Also my very area happens to not have a bus station. So the fare or price is not stationed or fixed. So the price or fare i will be paying to leave from my area to town is different when i am coming back home.
This is because during late hours of the day that’s when it is getting dark they happen to be increasing the fare. Which is not fair at all. They usually do that due to the traffic on the road and also the less number of the mini bus. The price from my place to town in the morning is 7GHS which is equivalent to 0.60usd. That to steem is 1.70steem. Whereas they take 8 or 9GHS at night which is almost 2steem. Which is costly and worrying to us.
The price of one liter of fuel that’s super used to be
11 to 14Gh cedis that was 2steem. But after the up surge, it went to 19 and 23Gh cedis which almost getting to 3.50 steem. Which actually had a great impact on everything in the country. This actually what happens in this country. Whenever there is an increase in fuel, then the prices of all commodities too increases. There by making life a little difficult for us.
All these need to be done for a better and safer road for automobiles to use the roads for the transport of goods and services. Lack of this has been causing accidents and also, making it difficult for farm products to be transported to the market by farmers. Which at the end of the day make them loose some money, as a result of some of the products getting spoilt.
I invite @juzkid,@asaregabi and @chasad75 to participate in this contest.
Greetings @habdallah,
I hope you are fine. Transport is our daily life use not only the bus or taxi or train but we also do travel on our bikes and cars. As you said your city road where you are living is not in good condition now, same is happening in my area. But here it is due to low quality material use by corrupt politicans (selected person) of our area. Not only this but mostly roads are damaged in our country.
Yes tricycles can beat the traffic and here we use normal bicycles to do this. But with bicycle it is more easy to travel in rush road hours.
Travelling through mini bus or taxi or Rikhshaw costs high than our normal bicycle travel. The reason is they need to earn also but if they are charging a lot than we must avoid them. Second is as you said, different routes and distances have different charges. Here in our country, not only different locations but also different taxi drivers ask different prices. So it may be 4-5 Steem or less or even more than 4-5 Steem sometimes.
Your country is providing cheaper fuel than ours. Because here we are getting 1 litre petrol for 272Pkr that is equal to 4.48 Steem at current Steem price. So yes fuel is getting expensive and it is becoming hard to earn equal to bear all expenses. But we need to survive.
However, you have presented a good content with all questions answered. I appreciate that you put full efforts in creating content. I will surely take part in this contest. I wish you success in this contest.💕💕
