The
Gambia Transport Services Company (GTSC) is to launch a new international
transport service on Sunday.
Under
the new service, called The Gambia-Bissau Express, GTSC buses would be
regularly leaving from The Gambia to Guinea-Bissau.
Fabuka
Njaay, GTSC head of marketing, said The Gambia-Bissau express is scheduled to
leave Kanifing at 9a.m. to Guinea-Bissau, non-stop, three days in a week:
Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
“With
this unique express service, passengers can now leave The Gambia and travel on
a direct trip to Guinea-Bissau in comfort and speed.”
Currently,
passengers normally have to utilise three different connecting transports to
get to Guinea Bissau, i.e. travel from the Kombos to Sility and catch another
vehicle to Ziguinchor, and subsequently from Ziguinchor to Bissau.
“With
the introduction of this new service, customers are assured of a direct trip to
Guinea Bissau,” Mr Njaay said.
