The River Oti Ferry has resumed operations after a brief period of repairs, bringing much needed relief to hundreds of stranded vehicles and passengers in the Krachi East Municipality.
The Ferry, operated by the Volta Lake Transport Company (VLT), was out of service due to a technical fault, causing significant disruptions to travel and trade in the area.
The breakdown had resulted in long queues of cargo trucks and passengers on both sides of the river, with many forced to wait for hours and days.
The resumption of pontoon services has brought temporary relief to these individuals, allowing them to continue their journeys.
While the pontoon’s return to operation is welcome news, passengers are calling for a more permanent solution to the transportation challenges in the area.
Some passengers engaged by the Ghana News Agency (GNA), believe that the government must construct a bridge over the River to alleviate current dangers.
They believed this solution would not only improve safety but also enhance the efficiency of travel and trade in the region.
The River Oti pontoon’s resumption of operations is a positive development, but the conversation about a long-term solution continues among stakeholders.
