Travelers along the Bo-Liberia Highway are expressing satisfaction over the noticeable decrease in the number of checkpoints, hence, calling for a significant reduction in transportation costs. This positive development comes as security personnel at the checkpoints were reportedly demanding money from riders and drivers, contributing to an increase in overall travel expenses.
Previously, travelers faced a challenging journey as they navigated numerous checkpoints, often resulting in additional costs. The reduction in these checkpoints is now being welcomed by those commuting along this route.
Notably, travelers, who typically pay transportation costs of around NLe 150 for a one-hour drive from Bo to Jendema, are now calling for a more budget-friendly commute, thanks to the streamlined security measures.
This improvement not only eases the financial burden on commuters but also fosters a smoother and more efficient travel experience. The feedback from travelers reflects a collective appreciation for efforts aimed at enhancing the ease and affordability of transportation on the Bo-Liberia Highway.
