Station 37, also known as 37 Lorry Station, is located outside the city center, north of the Cantonments neighborhood and south of the Airport Residential neighborhood. The large traffic circle nicknamed "37" is actually called Akuafo and connects Liberation Road to Achimota Road. From this station you can get to almost anywhere in the northern part of Accra, even to the areas furthest from the city center. However, this is not where you will take long-distance buses to more remote parts of the country.

Near the Accra City Hotel, this station provides service to the east coast. As its name suggests, the tro-tros leave in the direction of Tema. Some of them then go to Ada, Keta, Aflao... Others leave for the north-east, and reach Aburi for example. Here, as in other bus stations in Accra (and in the rest of the country), the method is simple: you go to the bus station and ask the drivers directly which is the next bus to leave in the direction of the place you want to reach.

It's simple: from this neuralgic point of the capital, the whole center of Accra is accessible by tro-tro. You have to ask for directions to be put on the right minibus (no other way for the uninitiated to find out). In the large parking lot to the south-east of the Circle, you'll find a bar, ping-pong tables and... collective cabs whose sole purpose is to get to the Osu district as quickly as possible. Don't hesitate to make your voice heard! In any case, someone will be there to show you which tro-tro is yours!

This bus station is the central station of the STC company. This company is among the safest in Ghana, not only in terms of security and maintenance of vehicles, but also in terms of punctuality. A small but important plus, the buses of this company have wifi. A safe and comfortable way to make long trips in Ghana. You can get a precise idea of the fares by simulating a ticket purchase on the STC website. A recommended company.

The Tudu Station bus station is the most central of all: it is located at the Makola Market and is home to several bus and tro-tro companies. They mainly serve destinations to the east of Accra: Ho, Hohoe, Koforidua, Aflao... From Tudu Station, for example, STC buses leave for Hohoe every day at 2pm. Tro-tros to the east also leave from nearby Tema Station (between Kinbu Road and Independence Avenue). Here, as at other Accra stations, go to the station and ask for the next bus!

Kaneshie station, near the large Kaneshie market, is the largest bus station in Accra. This gigantic station, mixed with the market, is an impressive and somewhat disorienting chaos. Buses and trolleys go in all directions to the west and north. There are no schedules. As soon as the buses are full, they leave. At the most, you have to wait 30 minutes to see the vehicle full. But it can take a good hour for the bus to leave the station because of the traffic...
