Daloa’s bus stations will have to leave the city centre within a year, Haut-Sassandra General Council president Mamadou Touré announced. The municipality plans to acquire 25 hectares on the Vavoua road and has prepared a temporary site of about two hectares for lorries, according to AIP.

Daloa’s bus stations will have to be relocated outside the city centre within a maximum of one year, Haut-Sassandra General Council president Mamadou Touré announced on Monday 12 October during the launch of the ‘Daloa Nouveau’ operation at Gbêbani Square, according to the Ivorian Press Agency (AIP). “The city must no longer have a bus station,” he told transport operators.

Mamadou Touré justified the measure by citing the sanitation and urban indiscipline problems associated with bus stations. He said traders set up around these sites, worsening the difficulties targeted by the ‘Daloa Nouveau’ operation, according to AIP.
