The introduction of Uber, Uber X and Uber Select into the market has helped many Ghanaians (myself included). Compared to the traditional commercial vehicles where you had to wait for the bus to get full before finally setting off.
Alternatively, you could decide to pick a taxi if you need to go somewhere urgent. But with that one also the price was very expensive; mostly using the fact that they are picking only you instead of the normal four (4) as an excuse.
