Whether you’re visiting Accra for the first time or getting around every day, Met Road makes the city easy to move through. Below is every rapid-transit line we track in Accra, with live status, so you always know what’s running and what’s on the way.
The easiest way in from the airport is usually a ride-hailing app (Uber, Bolt or a local equivalent) — fixed prices, no haggling, and ideal with luggage. Licensed airport taxis are also available; always agree the fare before you set off.
Does Accra have public rail or rapid transit?

When will Accra urban rail (revival) open?
Government-backed plans to revive and modernise suburban rail on the Accra–Tema and Accra–Nsawam corridors, part of a wider standard-gauge programme to relieve the capital's chronic congestion. It is currently revival planned — and, as with many African rail projects, the timeline is ambitious and may slip.
