Ghana’s bullet train coming: Engineer Mensah

Acclaimed Ghanaian technologist and chemistry engineer, Dr Charles Owusu Mensah, has assured Ghanaians that the much-talked bullet trains are coming on board to boost the country’s economy.

According to him, it will be a seamlessly integrated system that will help movement around the country.

In his view, it is the way to go in recent times.

The man, who is at the forefront of Ghana’s technology financing, made this revelation in an interview with Blakk Rasta on the Taxi Driver show on Class 91.3 FM on Friday, July 15, 2022.

He announced that, as an engineer who has spent most of his time in the United States of America, he is focused on achieving this feat together with his Dubai bankroller for Ghana’s technological development.

He noted that Ghana’s bullet train if operational can transport some one million Ghanaians across the country.

He was quick to add that the introduction of bullet trains will not kill air travel in the country.

Mr Owusu Mensah noted that the bullet train has been introduced in Kenya and it is doing a marvellous job in that country.

Ghana’s bullet train, if operational, will allow passengers to use their cellphones to do bookings, he noted.

The engineer said the train has a QR code that customers can scan with their cellphones and have their issues of boarding settled.

The bullet train is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan.

Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, to aid economic growth and development.

Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.

It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies.
