Summary[edit]
DescriptionAmerican Toyota Corolla taxi (15358758275).jpg |
These were everywhere in Ghana, and this one had just dropped us off and was heading back for more business. Perhaps the most common 'modern' car in Ghana, along with the Pontiac Vibe, these could be seen at every taxi rank in the country. I've grown rather fond of this type of Corolla, which I don't think was sold in the UK? I think they're nice looking cars too, and is one of the few types which may actually be allowed as a taxi in our countries! Sometimes I wonder how the drivers can make any money at all. We used this as a 'shared taxi' which runs on a fixed route, and we paid the grand price of 1 cedi (20p) each for the roughly 10 mile journey. I don't really know why these were exported in the first place- most taxis are knackered, but this one in particular was the nicest I've been in, and very well kept too. Note the ubiquitous slogan in the back window- on this one "Showers of Blessings". You find these on most vehicles in the country- it becomes quite a fun game to spot them! |
