Trotro (Ghana) *Alias "Troski" *Pronounced: "Traw-traw" (like the word 'draw') Private-owned buses and vans that act as the biggest and cheapest means of inter-city mass transportation in Ghana. The buses are typically minibuses or vans, with the most popular being Nissan Urvan 15-seaters and Mercedes Benz Sprinter or D 309 vans. Seating arrangements typically include: • two "front seats" up by the driver's seat • about 4 rows of longer bench seats with the bus conductor (called the "Mate") at the seat closest to the vehicle door. The word may have been derived from the Ga (Gà) word "tro" meaning "pesewa" (the smallest unit of Ghanaian currency), given the trotro's status as a cheap means of transportation. Trotros are typically decorated with flags and stickers of various countries or (local and international) soccer teams, and with witty sayings, wisecracks, local proverbs or Bible verses printed on the bus's rear.
