A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A GHANAIAN BUS DRIVER | TROTRO DRIVER ACCRA | LIFE IN GHANA
In this video I share with you a real day in the life of Hamza, a 28 year old Ghanaian bus/trotro driver. Hamza operates from Tema to Accra on a daily basis and makes a living this way. i thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the bus station and also enjoyed interviewing Hamza. I hope you are able to get an idea on what its like to live in Ghana through this video.

Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
Let's not forget that Ama probably woke up at 3am to make this video! We Appreciate you Queen!!
Akosua Kyeremateng thank u love, i did ❤️
For real!
Your featuring the "grass roots", as opposed to the "already made it", brings a joy to me.
Oftentimes, these are the folks who are forgotten or overlooked, yet their contribution to society is great and important to those who depend on them each day.
I like what you do.
Shoshana thanks so much ❤️

Welcome!
I agree 100% I made a video about my TroTro experiences in Ghana ua-cam.com/video/ycT9vdWPeLw/v-deo.html
Seriously I will say trotro driving is among one of the toughest jobs in Ghana, the stress in it sitting all day waiting for people to come and the small income is not easy at all.
AFIALEXISS TV Yesoo, and driving on these roads can be so tricky x
I agreed with you totally
Meanwhile our own family members are sleeping all day long waiting for you to get € or $ from you.
Look at the time this young man was already at the bus station waiting for potential travellers
@Rashaenka My big bro is a trotro driver in Kumasi. He make a profit of 120-200 ghc/day. He works 6-8 hours a day. Trotro is lucrative business in Ghana.
An average degree holder makes an average of 900-1200 ghc/month.
@@realkumasi I will love to buy my own car Sprinter, and work full time. do you think is a great idea, I'm in my mid age. I love the freedom that from running your own business
JASMINE you are just amazing.
Thank you so much for showing us the typical life of everyday people. It's just amazing to see. Its also says a lot about a country and it people.
All an average person wants in any country is a decent source of income for their livelihood and dignity.
Doreen Onekalit thank u Doreen, for your kind comments always x

Oh what a dedication Jasmine. Ghana has really changed with overhead bridges and everything. Hamza doesn't have an 'Aplanke' or that is outdated. It is beautiful to enjoy Ghana scenery. Thank you.
Thank you for showcasing the youth and the fact that they are trying.
This episode makes me miss home so much. Ghana, here I come!! Home sweet home 🇬🇭
Jasmine, I love your videos, because they connect with the heart and spirit of people. They allow those who may feel left out to know that their humanity is seen and their labor is not in vain. You let them know and appreciate their self worth. We are all a link in the Circle of life. Great job again. 🔥💖
Big Mike thanks Mike ❤️
@@JasmineAmaa , you are welcome.
I miss Ghana 🇬🇭❤️
(Re-comment) Hamsa is a hard-working brother. He takes pride in getting his passengers from point A to point B safely. Thank you for featuring this dedicated brother!
Love your UA-cam channel 👌🏾
It’s about everyday Ghanaians.
Please keep your masks on.
This is so emotional. People that have so little are so content and keep pushing 💕
Omg I miss Tema. Com 1,site 15,meridian. TM 4Life
I can't wait to go ghana🤣im so excited when watch your video...new subscriber here from philippines🇵🇭
Learning so much between the channels all good content shows the hard work of many and the reality of the day for most thanks much again 👏👏👏👏
It’s good to help others, thank you for all your hard work!❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
EXCELLENT, AS ALWAYS! YOUR "DAY IN THE LIFE..." SERIES IS THE MOST NATUTAL AND INFORMATIVE OF ALL THE VLOGGERS. Q: WHEN YOU SAY "FOLLOW YOUR BLISS" AT THE END, WHAT LANGUAGES ARE YOU USING, BESIDES ENGLISH?
Courtney Art its Akan -Twi, there are different types of Twi but mine is a mix of everything lol. ❤️
@@JasmineAmaa IT'S PRETTY, I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS SEVERAL, OR DIALECTS. I LIKE IT EITHER WAY, YOUR TRADEMARK!
Jasmine I hope to meet you in Accra. I’m in Accra 😭😭. Your videos are lovely 💕💕
Rocky Jr Alfa Thank u Rocky ❤️
You are such hard working lady to wake up early at time to do this video good job GOD bless you and keep doing sky is your your limit dear
God Job. I will prefer you reduce the font to smaller. That can sometimes avoid blocking the view. My opinion. Thanks
Nawal D Abu still trying to figure this out without making text too small, but am on it x
Jasmine Ama
All the best Sis.
Most international viewers don't understand the local language hence the medium text is very important.
Some people appreciate the medium as they find it difficult to see the smaller font
I really need the bigger font. She gives us a lot of film to see the visuals and the view. But when the talking begins in different language I need to see bigger font to follow conversation.
Nahh some Ghanaians are smooth oo, the way he be shooting his shot small at the end LOL! I love your series Jasmine! Keep it up
Yet another informative video my Queen/Bliss.
He seems to be an honest hard working young man, and I would consider hiring him for a day at double his rate.
I look forward to living in the Accra region next year, it is so much work I want to do for the poor in different areas.
It's a blessing to be in a position to help those that are in need.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring video.
Be blessed.
J. W. CARTER u are welcome ❤️
@@JasmineAmaa Thank you so much Queen/Bliss 💖
Loved this! It's great to see all sides of Ghana
Lol the best mood of transport idc you witness some madness but I love it . No matter what it is dey carry.
Anigye3 AmbassadorOfMyBloodline it is loll not the most comfy though xx
What is this madness you’re talking about? Lol. I used to take trotro but stopped when the lockdown went in effect. I will not take it again until Covid is gone because there are too many people packed together inside, many not wearing a mask or not wearing them properly (mouth & nose covered, not just mouth). To each his or her own. Enjoy.
You should try the bakka type in Ivory Coast. They are way insane
Lovely proverbial sayings as always. They are so beautiful to listen to. Thank You.
Another bang video from Jasmine. You are really putting in a lot of work to bring out these videos. Keep it up.
Today I’m first here!
Well done Jasmine, we get to watch and enjoy Ghana through your videos. I love your content, can’t wait to see you hit 100000 subscribers

Oppong John thankss a lot, woke at 3am which is still super early ❤️
Your dedication is next level. Keep soaring!!! re:driving @ 3.30am...Keep safe as well. Cheers
Awwww Ayesha (sp?) taking a quick nap before all of the hard work begins 🤣😂 That will ensure that she has double the energy.
Danni Sapp haha don’t make excuses for her
Jasmine Ama 😂
Been following your videos for some time now. Really love this series of ' A day in the life of... ordinary Ghanaian folk. Tema and Kaneshie stations really took me back in time. Great work, keep it up 👍🏾
Thanks a lot xx
My Tro tro was bumping music, gotta love the Tro tro :)
You are dedicated and put in work for a channel. You deserve us your fans 🙌🏽

Jasmine, I don't know you personally but I can tell you have a heart of gold. Nyame nyhira wo wati.. my Aussie pretty chic....

Caribbean just like Ghana
We call it a Mini van or zr van over here. Same culture in a different place. Africa is home
I love your videos Jasmine🥰🥰 and God Bless you for all that you do for these wonderful people you interview in your Videos.
I'm a Ghanaian parent living in London. Is so difficult raising kids abroad. Your parents did an amazing job with you Jasmine. You are inspirational and you ask the right questions in your interview. This a day in the life of ....could be a tv show, think abt it
thank u lovely x
Nice view and different locations of accra thx girl 👍❣️
Prince Mamudu u are welcome xx
You are simply amazing for sharing these stories. More blessings
K I N N G D E L A Amen ❤️
When he said you need patience to do his job because of the things people can say I felt that for real. Even when I hear how much a person makes in a day it is still hard for me to comprehend. I think that's one of the things that I'm leery about trying to understand what is a fair market price for someone else's goods and services when you are in Africa. For some reason I'm always imagining that video I seen on Facebook of a white woman in the Himalayas I think and that getting Chase for being cheap trying to haggle.
Jasmine you have transported me back in Ghana just with a vlog
gabordidier Edoh thats awesome xx
All your videos are enjoyable to watch thanks for your time
Thomas Kwofie u are welcome xx
Hi Jazz I enjoy what you do so much, but do be careful you know how dangerous that early morning traffic can be. Aisha looked so tried. I can identify with Hamza I had my own transportation company before. It was the most happiest and profitable time of my life. I wish my brother well. THANKS JASMINE
yahya shabazz aw that’s awesome. Do u still run the business? I will definitely be careful. Thanks. Aisha just likes sleeping lol
@@JasmineAmaa No I don't run it anymore. Hamaz just brought back great memories
Awesome content ❤ It helps with perspective from an American lens. Thanks 👑

Love your content.. u get right in there...in other news Hamza is FINE AF
Great video, Jasmine. Perhaps you should take a few more trips with this gentleman?? ;-)
Nope. Preferably a taxi driver instead. Different perspectives!
herh the mate is fresh ooo the drip alone
Maame Sika ony3 easy haha ❤️
Greetings Ms. Ama, nice content as usual. Stay well.
Joyful Soul ❤️
Jasmine is there anything you won't do. Lol I respect the Trotro drivers for their hard work but when I am in Ghana due to the heat my patience run short and I catch a 🚖. I am thankful to have the same safe driver for some years.
God Bless you Jasmine. I hope to buy a ton of your products on my next visit.
val newman looll not much hey. Aw thanks so much xx
I also am a bus driver in the USA, I drive 8-15 hrs a day. I make $20+ an hour!!! I'm not saying this to brag, I just can't wrap my head around this...This is so crazy to me, to see these drivers making my hourly wage as their daily amount!!!! I realize cost of living is so much higher here.
Jasmine, you have definitely opened my eyes! Thank you for showing me this video 📹 ❤! May God bless you & keep you, may his light shine upon you! In Jesus Name, Amen! FYI, bus driving is not easy here...we drivers get assaulted on the daily, we get spit on, hit in the face, cursed out, ect. & yes...daily! Yes, you definitely need lots of patience as a bus driver.
Love it I am a totro driver in mombasa Kenya applying town service, a 14 seater Nissan caravan, a day the owner get 40 to 55 net usd b4 corona, I lv to compare things
👍👍👍 u real jasmine

Awwwww you made me miss home. I live at kaneshie 😍😍😍😍
fixngobble TV oh lovely. Its so busy out that way omg. I think its my first time going there xx
@@JasmineAmaa hehehe it is always busy.
Good video
Utopian Citizen thank u xx
I only recommended for the Caption to be reduced. Thanks.
Yessss finally 🎉🎉🎉❤️
Nana A. Boachie i know. It felt the same for me lol ❤️
You are doing an amazing job honestly. I love your videos 👏🏾👏🏾
I will have liked you to have asked him why trotro drivers oftentimes drive unsafely on the roads. For example, trotro drivers are notoriously known for pulling up from the shoulder of the road to enter the main road indiscriminately, without yielding to oncoming traffic. They do this all the time. I wish you had asked him this question.
Oh charley you guys drove through my old neighborhood ooo near the big mosque lol..You should have asked him why do some trotro drivers easily change cars? I think most of them are not sincere, God bless your hustle hamza
I had no idea some of the change cars on the regular though hm.
Hi, I have been watching your video but this is the first time am commenting because I was surprised by a question you asked the trotro driver. Being someone who use to live in Australia, I think with your experience, you should have known that, islam is a world wide religion and not a tribe. There are lots of Australian whites folks who are Muslims. Asking the driver why he is a Muslim eventhough he is a fanti was a surprise to me. Most Ghanaians back in ghana think Islam is religion for the people of the northern ghana which is a fallacy.
Good job 🇬🇭🔥🔥💯❤️❤️❤️
Dennis dennis ❤️
Long time my beautiful and charming mummy
Its true, you don’t see many Muslim Fantis. My family are like his, a mix of Muslims and Christians and I’ve never met another Fanti family who have such a mix which i always found odd lol. Anyway, great video🙌🏾🙌🏾
Tro tro oooh how I miss home 😭😅
Does anyone remember the “Tro” coin? 😅😅
😊😊😊
Another great 'A DAY IN THE LIFE OF' vid.
I'm sorry, I don't think I'm cut out to be a tro tro driver. Too much hassle, the Ghanaian traffic, too little pay and I've don't have the best of temperaments. LOL
Btw bus drivers in the UK get good pay.
Hamza is Fanti warrior and he deserves to be paid like a UK bus driver.
I don't think I could ride in a tro tro either. Too many people, in too little space... no thanks.
Maybe if it was filled with young, beautiful Ghanaian women, I might reconsider. ;)
hahaha70263 loooll
Ama jazz.. U sold water already so when will u taste the life of a trotro mate.. 9ice nocturnal interview.
Thyeo Croft one day lol xx
@@JasmineAmaa please do a day in the life of Ashia.. I know u interviewed her already but more please.
👌👌
Jasmine jasmine...
What a beautiful mosque!
Is there an airport in Tema?
Toheeb Adeshina nope x
@@JasmineAmaa only in Accra, why not make a travel video about other African countries
👍✌💐💐💐🌹🇲🇦🇬🇭
Hi Jasmine how much would his own car cost? Is there a place to donate to Hamza?
Tamara Dantzler McCants yes please, paypal or patreon. I didn’t ask how much his own car will cost though. Completely forgot to xxx
Do i use your paypal.account? How many trips does he make a day going through the toll booth?
Tamara Dantzler McCants yes either paypal or patreon is fine. Both links are in description box. He does two trips to Accra a day so 4 trips through toll booth xx
@@JasmineAmaa i want to pay for that for 6 months. Is the toll only cash or do they have a roll account.
Tamara Dantzler McCants only cash, ur donation can go towards that x
+Jasmine Ama -- Great video. Poor use of subtitles.
And what would u suggest instead in your criticism?
