The post sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook timeline of Joy News had Abena recounting that she picked up a part-time job to support herself in school, but due to the constant increase in transportation fares in Ghana, the amount of money she spent on transportation to and from work alone was more than what she earns at work.
