In a brief chat with Mr. Hanson Blay, the Union Chairman for 37 - Ashaiman Trotros at the 37 Trotro station, he said the driving profession just like any other profession has bad nuts in it. He says unlike some years ago where people were passionate about their profession as drivers because they deemed it a noble service to the country, now people enter the driving profession because they can’t find any other job to do. Mr. Blay thinks these people don’t get the proper training they need to become better drivers, and it is the reason why the respect for Trotro drivers and other commercial drivers has fallen. Mr. Hanson’s sentiment is shared by Historian and researcher @detroittoaccra in her book “Ghana on the Go,” states that “the shifting standards of economic morality, which raised calls to criminalize driver practice, were compounded by changing standards of driver training and professionalism within the industry itself... direct access to a vehicle meant that individuals could more easily become commercial drivers, by passing training as a mate.” Osei Mensah, a driver at the Obra Spot Trotro Station also agrees with Hanson and Jennifer, and says driving has now become a “cheap profession”. He believes people think because they know how to drive a car they can just go get one and start working as commercial drivers. . .
