Hundreds of travelers Crossing the Banjul- Barra crossing point were not happy with slow access to the ferry ticket selling point at the Banjul Ferry Terminal.
As of mid-day this afternoon, a multitude of travelers waited in a long queue before they would be able to buy their tickets.
” It’s very slow today, normally it’s fast but the service is not conducive today,” Filly Secka said.
Alhagie Sering Nyang who is traveling to to a funeral expressed dismay and urged authorities at the ferry terminal to have contingency plans in case of a breakdown of the equipment.
” The cashier is struggling with the machine. It is taking her time before she will be able to print a ticket” he said.

” Print the tickets and I help you to sell,” a ferry terminal staff said to the lady cashier on duty.
Travelers lament unnecessary delay at ferry ticket selling point.
