Tro-tro

This is a typical Tro-tro in Ghana.  Most of them are in pretty bad shape; saw some with the back doors tied with ropes.  There is a driver and then there is a younger boy(usually a teen) who is in charge of getting the passengers on and off, telling everyone where they are going, and collecting money.  There are signals for each route in Accra and there are not necessarily designated stops.  Riders would tell them where they need to go and they would sometimes make a stop or not.  I had to take a Tro half way to work every day, and then I would have to get in a shared taxi.  Tros are the cheapest way to travel but sometimes not the safest and usually very crowded!!!
