Ghana Life: Taxi Drivers' World
Visitors to Ghana will find that half the vehicles on city streets are taxis with distinctive bright yellow-orange wings. Even those who keep a careful count will find that their statistics support their first impression. According to the Building and Road Research Institute (BRRI) there were 121,000 vehicles registered in Ghana in 1993 of which registered taxis made up 28,000 or 23%. However, taxis spend much more time on the road than other types of vehicle and that is how they are able to dominate the traffic scene; and it is the ever-present community of taxi drivers that characterises life on the move on the streets of Ghana's towns and cities.
