Buses left the Amoron'Akona bus station empty. The Amoron'Akona bus station welcomed its first travelers yesterday. In this vast 4,500 m² infrastructure, a few passengers boarded for departures to various regional and national destinations, particularly on eastern and southern routes. Vassia, originally from Fianarantsoa but a student in Antananarivo, was among the first users of the new station. "Admittedly, the station is a bit far from my place compared to Fasan'ny Karàna, but I chose to come here because there, with the touts, transport costs more during the holiday season. Plus, it's spacious here and away from the chaos of Fasan'ny Karana," she said. This first day was marked by low passenger traffic. "We only recorded eight reservations for this afternoon's departure. Most of our clients have booked buses departing from Maki bus station. Its location is more accessible for them," said Evah, ticket clerk for the Kofimanga cooperative. Some vehicles thus left the boarding station with few passengers. "To avoid making travelers wait for hours, we departed even though the vehicle wasn't full. We'll continue to Ampasampito bus station, where we hope to find more passengers to fill the remaining seats," said Tahiana, a transporter on the Antananarivo-Moramanga line. Some cooperatives say they did fill their seats. Reserved seats. The first day was also marked by the absence of several cooperatives in the park. Only a few ticket windows opened yesterday. "This doesn't mean withdrawal. It's just that our vehicle seats are already fully booked until June 26, and most reservations are focused on departures from Maki or Fasan'ny Karana stations," said a transporter. The site manager remains optimistic. "For a first day, the traffic is rather encouraging," said Andry Michel Razafindraibe, manager of Amoron'Akona bus station. To attract even more passengers to this site, the Ministry of Transport and Meteorology announces the deployment of several transport means to serve this route.
