Ghana, a predominantly Christian country, has long been known for a distinctive feature of its public transport system: preachers delivering sermons to captive audiences aboard buses and minibuses.
The practice of preaching on public transport is widespread across the country, reflecting the deep role religion plays in everyday Ghanaian life, according to the BBC.
However, the tradition appears to be facing pressures that could change how common the practice remains in the coming years, though the specific factors driving that shift were not detailed in the available report.
The phenomenon has long been a notable feature of daily commuting in Ghana, blending religious expression with everyday public life.
