Metro Mass Transit returns to profit in 2025

Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMTL) returned to profitability in 2025, posting a net profit of GH¢4.48 million. This marks a significant turnaround from the GH¢2.52 million net loss recorded in 2024, according to the 2025 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA).

Operating revenue rose by 16.87%, increasing from GH¢138.49 million in 2024 to GH¢161.85 million in 2025. This growth was primarily fueled by a 17.38% increase in ticket sales and a 13.17% rise in revenue from hiring and school bus services.

Passenger volume saw a substantial increase, with MMTL transporting 2.51 million passengers in 2025, up from 1.93 million the previous year. Despite a reduction in workforce from 1,696 to 1,483 employees, employee productivity rose from GH¢80,000 to GH¢110,000 per worker. The company’s cost recovery ratio also improved to 102.7%, indicating that operating revenue successfully covered operating expenses.
