Female trotro driver shares inspirational story
In a related story, the grit, determination, and tenacity of a young Ghanaian woman who is poised to build a life for herself have attracted the admiration of hundreds of people across the country.
The young lady, identified only as Esther, has been widely applauded for braving the odds to excel as a trotro driver in a field dominated by men.
According to Esther, driving has always been her passion, so taking the bold decision to pursue it as a profession was not difficult. She noted that driving a trotro was not her first stint in commercial driving. Before taking the wheel of a trotro, she drove heavy-duty trucks.
Thriving on the streets as a commercial driver in Ghana, she explains, is a hard nut to crack, especially for a woman; however, grit and resilience have been her secret to excellence.
Esther, the trotro driver, plies her trade along the Cape Coast–Accra highway. According to her, the job has provided her with the financial stability she needs. She says she earns enough to take care of herself, afford basic amenities, and live comfortably.
Driving, she says, makes her happy, and she is ready and willing to pursue the profession to the very end
Speaking about the challenges she faced in her line of work, she noted that, as a commercial bus driver, her main difficulty came from passengers who doubted her abilities, since they were not accustomed to seeing women behind the wheel, especially in commercial buses.
She said she was sometimes ridiculed and made fun of, but that does not deter her in the least.

She says she has always maintained high professional standards, adhered to speed limits and road traffic regulations, and placed the safety of her passengers at the forefront of her work.
“Some passengers are surprised when they find a woman behind the wheel. The very inquisitive ones always ask questions, while others make ridiculous remarks, but that does not demoralise me. I know why I am doing this work, and I do it to the best of my ability.”
“As a driver, the safety of my passengers and myself is my top priority. I neither overspeed nor compete with other drivers on the road to prove my skills. Safety is my main concern.”
Esther is among the few young Ghanaians breaking stereotypes in professional circles by taking the initiative to challenge the status quo.
Obroni group shares first experience in trotro
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported on a group of tourists recording their first experience in a trotro in Ghana.
The tourists were surprised to learn that the trotro fare was paid directly to a conductor and not to the driver, a sharp contrast to situations they were accustomed to.
