Next on his list was the popular ‘aboboyaa’ (also known as tricycle) transport business. He stated that tricycle riders who operate in market areas charge significant fees to transport goods over short distances.

In his words:

“If you charge GH₵20 to GH₵30 per trip, it only takes a few trips to make GH₵100 in a day.”

The third kind of business was also in the transportation niche. He highlighted the growing demand for 'okada' (motorbike) riders. According to him, this business can be divided into passenger transport riders and delivery service providers.

He noted that due to heavy traffic in urban areas, many people prefer using okadas for quick travel, while the rise of online businesses has also created massive demand for delivery riders.
