The Government of Liberia has clarified that the new buses being brought into the country were supplied by a Ghanaian-based Brazilian manufacturer, Marcopolo.
Monrovia —
The branding of the two buses and sending them to Liberia for trial has sparked debates in the Ghanaian media, with the issue being discussed on live television shows in Ghana. Madam Cooper told local media that the buses meet the necessary standards and that the President is satisfied with their condition.
Marcopolo S.A. is a Brazilian bus, coach, and rail manufacturer, founded on August 6, 1949, in the southern Brazilian city of Caxias do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul. Madam Cooper asserted that the bus initiative comes at a time when the Liberia National Transit Authority is facing severe bus shortages, affecting public transport services and making it difficult for University of Liberia students to commute to and from school.
