Top Tamale Transportation: Reviews & Tips

Tamale, Ghana, that’s a pretty cool place, it presents a mix of old traditions and quick new development, so moving around takes a bit of strategy, more or less. You could say choosing the best way to get around can seriously change your trip, from a super quick work visit to a chill exploration, right? I am going to walk you through five very reliable transport services, I think it’s a good plan. I want to really look at what they offer, their reliability, and what people who actually use them are saying, pretty much.

1. Metro Mass Transit: Traveling the Region on a Budget

Metro Mass Transit, sometimes referred to as MMT, usually shows up as an economical option, that is to say, especially when covering larger areas or reaching other towns. These public buses, arguably, follow set routes and schedules, often, linking Tamale to numerous locations, by the way. Is that it can be an affordable solution for tourists or people living in Tamale on a budget, more or less?

A lady told me about using MMT to travel to Kumasi. Here is what she told me:

“Yeah, I have used Metro Mass Transit. Its got a very affordable fare and its very easy to access. It could get a bit busy especially during public holiday but for that fare and convenience? Its not bad at all”

Is that punctuality could be a concern at peak times, it turns out, and the buses could get pretty crowded, I would argue. So, for example, if you are after quick or super personalized service, MMT may, in some respects, not be your first choice, you know? If, say, cost efficiency is high on your list, that’s right, then MMT will get you from point A to B okay. Check for timetables, that’s right, and give yourself a bit more leeway to make sure that any travel delays don’t throw your whole schedule out of sync, pretty much.

2. State Transport Corporation (STC): Comfort Over a Long Distance

Think about STC for travel with some style, which stands for State Transport Corporation, and offers comfy long distance rides. Arguably, the buses have air conditioning, nice seating and safety features that could give you a good trip. So you know, it is a favorite of the people here.

A bloke mentioned traveling by STC. He said:

“The other day I travelled with STC from Accra to Tamale. I found the journey pleasurable to say the least. Air conditioning was very good and the bus captain knew what he was about, and they drove safe.”

Anyway STC offers travel to big places from Tamale, actually Accra to Kumasi etc. As a matter of fact STC is not necessarily affordable. However, I mean if security, timeliness, and comfort are pretty much necessary then it could be perfect. Anyway, you must buy tickets earlier if you can, and keep your eye out for their schedule.

3. Local Taxi Services: Fast And Fair

Tamale’s local cabs offer quick and easy commutes especially within town. I mean cabs are found near big public locations and intersections too. It could also be quite useful to know a local driver if you move around more regularly alright.

From our interviews, the popular opinions of the local taxi cab services seem to show:

“Easy to hail and they know the area pretty well. I mean you will definitely get to where you are going quick enough.”

Yet, sometimes quality in transport isn’t always available. As a matter of fact bargain the fare before setting off so everyone knows how it should be. Cabs may be extremely great for rapid journeys, especially with how flexible they actually seem to be. As I was saying they may vary so have communication open and have some information ready before hand.

Basically they’re perfect when discovering outside of Tamale with its exciting surrounding locations.
