The government of Cameroon signed a contract with Portuguese bus construction company; Irmaos Mota Trans Africa, in August last year for the provision of urban buses to Cameroon. The portugues company would provide Cameroon with 150 ultramodern air-conditioned buses to be used in Yaounde and Limbe only.
The buses would be in circulation by ending February. The minister of transport; Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o, already tested the buses in a routine check last week.
The project is said to run for 10 years, and costs 17 billion Frs. The government will own 10% of the shares and will spend 1.7 billion Frs to subsidize the transport fare for Cameroonians.
