Background
As a measure to maintain social distancing, commercial cars have been instructed to take just two to three people on a normal sitting arrangements which take upto three to four people respectively.
Story
Boarding a commercial vehicle which normally took maximum three people on a sitting row this morning, there was left three spaces to be filled (under the new circumstances of COVID 19)
Some four people came, board the car and actually sat in it.
If they were to take, it means there will be a compromise of just one person.
But the conductor and the driver refused, and instead, let go of the four potential passengers (due to COVID 19).
The issue is, the driver and his conductor could have easily compromised with the one potential passenger. But they refused and actually let go of four.This is very interesting because, these kinds of compromise were very frequent and actually done almost always in commercial vehicles in the country prior to COVID 19.
My Take
This attitude gives me a lot of hope for the change in attitude among Ghanaians.
There only need to be a convincing reason. We can achieve a lot as a people.
There’s hope for the continent of Africa!
