The Management of the National Transit Authority (NTA) is pleased to announce that on Thursday, November 13, 2025, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, President of the Republic of Liberia, will officially dedicate a new fleet of buses recently procured to enhance the nation’s public transportation system. This important occasion marks another milestone in the government’s ongoing effort to improve the delivery of reliable, affordable, and safe transportation services to the Liberian people.

The dedication ceremony will take place at the NTA’s main compound in Monrovia, beginning at 10:00 a.m., and will bring together government officials, development partners, representatives of the transport sector, members of the media, and the general public. It is a significant moment for the NTA and for Liberia as a whole, reflecting the government’s broader commitment to strengthening national infrastructure and ensuring equal access to public services.

The introduction of the new buses represents a major step forward in the NTA’s mandate to provide efficient mass transit services across the country. For many years, public transportation has faced challenges ranging from limited vehicle availability to the high cost of maintenance and fuel. With this new fleet, the Authority aims to improve service reliability, reduce waiting times, and expand coverage to more cities, towns, and rural communities. The initiative aligns with President Boakai’s development agenda, which places a strong emphasis on improving road connectivity, creating jobs, and building sustainable systems that directly impact the lives of ordinary citizens.

In recent years, the NTA has made steady progress toward modernization. This new addition of buses is not just about transportation; it also represents the government’s confidence in the NTA’s operational capacity and the dedication of its workforce. The Authority continues to position itself as a key player in Liberia’s post-war reconstruction and national development efforts. With the support of both local and international partners, the NTA is building a system that prioritizes accountability, safety, and service excellence.

The buses to be dedicated are equipped with modern safety and comfort features designed to meet international standards. Each unit is fitted with upgraded seating, adequate ventilation, and efficient fuel systems to reduce emissions and operating costs. These improvements will not only enhance passenger comfort but also support the Authority’s goal of promoting environmentally friendly transport options in Liberia. In addition, the NTA is investing in training its drivers, mechanics, and operational staff to ensure that the new buses are properly managed and maintained.

The arrival of these buses comes at a time when the demand for public transportation continues to rise, particularly in Monrovia and other growing urban centers. The expansion will enable the Authority to reach more commuters daily, helping to ease the burden of transportation on working families, students, and traders who depend on affordable mobility. It will also support regional connectivity, linking counties and cities through a reliable network that facilitates economic activity and social interaction.

Speaking ahead of the ceremony, the Managing Director of the National Transit Authority expressed deep appreciation to His Excellency President Boakai for his leadership and continued support for national development projects that directly touch the lives of citizens. He noted that the dedication of the new buses is a symbol of the President’s vision to build a modern Liberia where public services work efficiently and transparently for all.

As part of the ceremony, there will be a guided tour of the new buses and a brief demonstration of their operational capabilities. Guests will also hear remarks from key government officials and stakeholders who have contributed to the NTA’s progress over the years. The program will include cultural performances, official ribbon cutting, and a symbolic bus ride featuring the President and invited dignitaries.

The NTA recognizes that reliable transportation plays a vital role in Liberia’s economic growth and social cohesion. Public transport is not merely about moving people from one place to another—it connects communities, facilitates commerce, and opens access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. This dedication, therefore, goes beyond the physical buses; it represents hope, progress, and a renewed sense of national unity.

In the years ahead, the NTA remains committed to expanding its services, introducing innovative technologies such as digital ticketing and on-board payment systems, and strengthening its maintenance and monitoring capacity. The Authority is also working closely with local governments to develop feeder routes that will connect underserved areas and ensure that no region is left behind.

The dedication of these new buses is a clear demonstration of the government’s readiness to invest in Liberia’s future. It shows that when public institutions and leadership share a common purpose, tangible results can be achieved. The NTA extends sincere thanks to all Liberians for their continued support and patience as it works to transform the transportation sector for the good of the nation.

As Liberia moves forward under the leadership of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, the National Transit Authority reaffirms its unwavering commitment to serving the people with honesty, diligence, and pride. The official dedication of the new buses is not just a celebration of new vehicles—it is a celebration of progress, partnership, and the enduring belief that public service must always deliver meaningful impact.
