Buz Stop Boys Offer Free Bus Rides to Students, Educate Them on Good Environmental Practices

• Ghanaian sanitation volunteer group, the Buz Stop Boys, offered free rides to basic school students who had closed and were going home
• During the bus ride, the founder of the volunteer group, Heneba Safo, educated the students on environmental practices in their communities
• Social media users who watched the video praised the volunteer group and suggested how they could continue serving the country well

Sanitation volunteer group, popularly known as Buz Stop Boys, drove a mini-bus in some parts of the Greater Accra Region and picked up basic school students for free.

The Ghanaian volunteer group drove on the Anyaa-Ablekuma road and picked up as many students as they could, then dropped each student off at their designated stop.

In a video on X, the volunteers asked the students who had finished school where they were headed and then offered them a free ride.

Most of the students were initially sceptical and did not want to get on board the bus.

However, the volunteers reassured them, and they eventually agreed, with the driver being lively and engaging the students about how they were doing.

Afterwards, he educated them on good environmental practices and what could be done to keep their surroundings clean, even asking them related questions.

While offering the free ride to students, some adults wanted to join the bus, with the Buz Stop Boys hilariously informing them that the ride was only for students.

The students expressed their appreciation to the Buz Stop Boys when they alighted at their various stops.

"A humble advice, each time you wish to pick minors like this, go to the police and have them assign you with at least one officer. It could foster more trust, and I do hope it helps security-wise too cos who knows who will be on the same street with a bus tomorrow."

@DaizzyAshers said:

"Please brand the bus so that evil doers don’t use this same strategy to harm school kids in the name of free riding. Ewiase ay3 hu. Kudos for the good job. God bless you."
