My Favourite Taxi Rank (Accra Mall)
I like to walk, and from work, I often do so for around 15 minutes. Thanks to a colleague who showed me a new shortcut, I can get directly to Accra Mall now. This taxi rank is two minutes walk across the road from the mall.
I like it for the taxi-drivers--which cars are both salubrious and otherwise--shouting "motorway![reference to Tema motorway]"; "junction-junction-junction!"; "communities 18, 19"; "Fridays! Fridays!". All these routes ultimately lead to Tema. Almost every destination accrues a rate of GHC1.00, or roughly $US1.00.
I always take the "junction-junction-junction!" one (or simply junction!) as it takes me to after Papaye on the Spintex Road and to GOIL fillimg station, where I stop to walk on home.
Thanks for joining me!;-) Thanks for allowing me to indulge your patience!

hi.... im rizal from Malaysia. Nice to know u.
nice to meet you, too!!
Thanks for the visit to the taxi park! I lived in West Africa for many years (Nigeria, Togo and Gambia) and often visited Accra and Tamale in the north. I still miss West Africa and am glad to see your city daily photo blog. Accra is one of my favorite places in West Africa - a wonderful city! I'll be back to visit your blog again soon.
Hi Benjamin, many thanks for visiting the blog and park. Thank you for the superlatives u associate with Accra. COuld do better, I think, but always great to be living here, nonetheless;-))
