What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inKumasi is a cosmopolitan city with a good road network and one can travel on local buses which ply predetermined routes or charter/hire taxis to take one to his preferred destination.
  • Get aroundThe tro-tro station in the city centre offers the widest range of destinations.
  • Get aroundThe disadvantage of this tro-tro station is that it is extremely chaotic and that it is right in the city centre: getting out of the city is often problematic due to a plethora of traffic jams.
  • Get aroundIf you can't find your tro-tro, ask one of the tro-tro mates or one of the ticket sellers.
  • Get aroundAnother alternative is to catch a tro-tro from the ring road instead.
