Following past experiences of exploitations (i.e. taxi drivers taking huge sums of monies from students when they (drivers) bring students from Cape Coast town to campus. In fact most drivers could charge as high as GHS50), stress (especially conveying luggage from one vehicle station to another), thievery, and inconveniencies that have been associated with fresh students reporting to campus, the SRC wishes to introduce to you the ”SRC HASSLE-FREE TRANSPORT PROJECT” which aims at transporting fresh students from and around the underlisted locations straight to campus. This is a comprehensively planned project that assures convenience, comfort, reliability and quality service. Our bus will convey you directly from the underlisted locations (and surrounding towns inclusive) to the doorsteps of your hall of affiliation in the University of Cape Coast. We therefore encourage you to patronise this package we have carefully organised for you. The list of towns, their respective fares and times of departure are stated overleaf. The departure times are scheduled such that you can join the bus at the respective locations or any other surrounding town (depending on your arrangement with your coordinator) from any part of your region. Dedicated Coordinators have been assigned to the individual regions to assist you. You are kindly advised to contact these Coordinators for further clarification(s). If you are interested in this wonderful package, kindly pay the appropriate fare into the Commercial Bank Student Representative Council account number 3021130000490. Deadline for payment is August 21, 2019. Late payments will not be considered. The fare includes luggage. After payment, please text your name and intended town of departure to Fidel Osei Agyemang (SRC PRO) on 0579293548 or Irene Gyabuah Asare (SRC Coordinating Secretary) on 0500551534 to confirm your registration.
