About STC Ghana

The intercity STC Ghana is a transport entity with functional coach services. The government holds a significant stake and controls this company. It prides itself on a fleet of commercial vehicles that go to over 25 destinations, including other countries like Ivory Coast, Benin, and Burkina Faso.

In a bid to regain its status as the top transport company in the country, the government entered into a deal with Noradic Logistics Limited in 2015. This move meant that they would have an additional 100 vehicles in their fleet. Further, there would be an extra 300 coaches to the fleet as time goes by. Nothing worked as much magic as this move. It is after the deal that we saw the reintroduction of the Accra-Kumasi and the STC Ghana Accra to Lagos and back to Accra routes.
