Lorry Stations are organized by destination and you can pretty much guarantee that you’ll get where you’re going….eventually. There are, of course, no schedules, and the tro’s only leave when they are absolutely full and for the less well-travelled routes that could take a while. I’ve routinely waited for well over an hour but others tell of 4-5 hour waits. Waiting is fun, of course, assailed on all sides by vendors and noise, and heat, and pollution.

There isn’t much redeeming about Tro riding except that it gets you where you want to go eventually ..and it is CHEAP!!!! Ride for 3-4 hours for $3-4! And it is a great way to get up close and personal with Ghanaian life and street cultures.
