  • What happens when your Christmas plans turn into a 24-hour ordeal on the road? Join me as I recount my unforgettable journey from Accra to Bolgatanga by night bus. Leaving Accra at 9 PM, I had no idea I’d spend all of Christmas Day stuck on the bus, arriving late into the night.

      At some point, I felt like the bus wasn’t moving oh. But funny enough I was at the window so I could see it moving. Then google map will change from 7 hours to 10 hours then 9 hours and so on. I just don’t know what was wrong. 🤣

    This is why I always fly passion airlines and never take buses. I took a bus the first time I went to Ghana and it took 16 hours to travel only 200 miles.” 🤦🏿‍♂️

    • @mrkpakam
      @mrkpakam  Місяць тому

      Hahahaha. 16 hours for 200 miles. Wow. That’s crazyyyyyyyyyyyy

    • @Worldtraveler1984
      @Worldtraveler1984 Місяць тому

      @ yeah it was insane. Even if you google map directions from Accra to Sunyani it takes 8 hours and that’s an estimate of travel in a car. If you take VIP and factor in stops and holiday traffic it takes nearly twice as long. I found that yeah flying cost 3 times as much but you have peace of mind and most importantly……….TIME!!! Literally my flight ✈️ takes 30 minutes from Accra to Sunyani compared to 12 to 16 hours on a bus 🤦🏿‍♂️.

  • @ashtrakeanny7124
    @ashtrakeanny7124 Місяць тому +2

    Mr. Kpakam another reason why most Ghanaians don’t trust that particular company. If it’s not STC, OA or VIP they won’t join. But I understand you had no other option sorry Chale.

    • @mrkpakam
      @mrkpakam  Місяць тому +2

      Now I get it. Yeaaa. You see from the start it was the only available option I got and then I hopped on it.
      The car got bad just 2 hours 16 mins into the journey and I was thinking it was a pit stop not knowing car don spoil oh. Then it took 3 hours for a new car for replacement. Then 1 hour to transfer the loads. What the heck. Then we left Linda Dor by 4am. That’s where the whole drama started.
