Government is putting in place plans to build a bullet train that will reduce transportation from Accra to Kumasi to 1.4 hours from station to station.
The Minister of Public Private Partnerships (PPP), Dr Rashid Pelpuo, through the Office of the President has engaged a New York Investment bank Chesterfield Faring Ltd. (CFL) to devise a Request for Proposal (RFP).
The CEO of CFL Lawrence J. Selevan visited with Dr Pelpuo last week in Accra.
During his stay, Mr Selevan met with the Departments of Transportation, Housing, and Finance to coordinate the underwriting of the RFP.
Mr Selevan said: “I believe that Ghana is ready for a state-of-the-art mass transit system that will speed up the commute for millions of everyday citizens in both Accra and Kumasi.”
The plan is to build an elevated light rail mass transit commuter system linked to the Kotoka International Airport.
