Transport in Ghana is accomplished by road, rail and water. Ghana's transportation and communications networks are centered in the southern regions the areas in which gold and timber are produced; the northern and central areas are connected through a major road system. Increased transport investment helped to increase the number of new vehicle registrations and transportation alternatives include rail, ferry and air; the railway system in Ghana has been confined to the plains south of the barrier range on mountains north of the city of Kumasi. However, the 1,067 mm narrow gauge railway, totalling 935 kilometres, is presently undergoing major rehabilitation and inroads to the interior are now being made. In Ghana, most of the lines are single tracked, in 1997, it was estimated that 32 kilometres were double tracked. In 2005, the Minister of Ports and Railways announced plans to extend the railway system to facilitate economic development. To begin, $5 million was invested for feasibility studies.

Possible projects at the time included extending a line from Ejisu to Techiman. Over the next two years, there were various studies and in 2007, work began. In March 2007, a Private Public Partnership was proposed to rehabilitate the Eastern Railway from Accra to Ejisu and Kumasi, with an extension from Ejisu via Mampong, Tamale and Paga, with a branch from Tamale to Yendi and Sheini; the extension will cost $1.6 b. There was another proposal in September 2007 to extend the Western Railway from Awaso via Techiman, Sawla, Wa to Hamile. In February 2008, the Ghana General News reported that the Ministry of Harbours and Railways and the Ghana Railway Corporation expected to complete a new commuter line linking Accra and Tema by June 2008; the formation was complete from Sakumono to the SSNIT flats near Tema. Diesel multiple-unit trainsets will be imported for use on the line. Construction of sleeper plant for the far north line was initiated in 2008; the Ghana railway network occupies a total rail route length and rail track length of 947 km and 1300 km, comprising national rail lines that do not go outside of Ghana and the Ghana national border.

Ghana railway network is limited to south Ghana and the southern part of Ghana within the Greater Accra region, Central region, Western region, Eastern region and Ashanti region of south Ghana. There are plans underway that revamp the operations of the Ghana Railway Corporation and Ghana Railway Company to make it more viable, to attract private sector participation. Concession agreements have been signed by the Ghana Railway Corporation for the development and extension of the Ghana Eastern Rail Line and the rehabilitation of the Ghana Western Rail Line; the major rail routes in Ghana are the Ghana Eastern Rail Line that connects Kumasi to Koforidua, the Ghana Western Rail Line that connects Kumasi to Sekondi-Takoradi and Cape Coast. In 2010, Ghana Railway Corporation began a GH₵12.9 billion rail project at the construction of the Ghana rail infrastructure to Ghana High-Speed Rail and to upgrade all of Ghana's railway line network has been planned and to be completed at the end of 2014 with construction managed by the China Railway High-Speed and the Chinese National Machinery Import and Export Corporation.

These towns are proposed to be served by rail: Ejisu Kintampo Paga - near Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast borders. Hamile - far northwest corner Boankra Inland Port Korean engineers studying the building of new lines in February 2007 were to consider conversion to standard gauge. Road transport is by far the dominant carrier of freight and passengers in Ghana's land transport system, it carries over 95% of all passenger and freight traffic and reaches most communities, is classified under three categories of trunk roads, urban roads, feeder roads. The Ghana Highway Authority, established in 1974 is tasked with developing and maintaining the country's trunk road network totaling 13,367 km, which makes up 33% of Ghana's total road network of 40,186 km. Trunk roads in Ghana are classified as National roads, Regional roads, Inter-regional roads, all of which form the Ghana road network. National roads, designated with the letter N, link all the major population centers in Ghana. Regional roads, designated with the letter R, are a mix of primary and secondary routes, which serve as feeder roads to National roads.

With respect to this mode of transport, many people prefer to use the public means. Many of the town and cities in the country can be reached by the use of urban buses known as "trotro" or taxis. For inter-regional transport bigger buses are used; the Ghana road network is 64,323 km and road transportation is the most dominant choice of transportation in Ghana. Road transport infrastructure in Ghana can be used throughout to facilitate the exchange of commodities and enable regular school attendance and fast access to health facilities in Ghana. There has been an increased investment and expansion in the road transportation of Ghana, GH₵1 billion in 2012. There is a Ghanaian Bus Rapid Transit, known as Metro mass Transit L. T. D, a Taxicab system connecting the Ghanaian big cities among themselves, a Minibuses system, known as Tro Tros, connecting big cities with the country's rural areas and small towns; the Ghana Police Se

Relampago is a fictional character, a comic book superhero self-published by creator Judge Margarito C. Garza; the character made his first appearance in Relampago! #1 making him the first Mexican American superhero in the American comic book industry. The character's debut series only ran for three issues ending with the passing of Judge Garza 1995. A planned revival series by comic creator Richard Dominguez was scrapped as he was unable to gain the consent of the surviving Garza family. District court Judge Margarito Garza conceived of Relampago shortly after attending a comic convention. Garza, who had grown frustrated with seeing the same crimes being committed, had created the hero as a way to exercise fantasies of stopping crime. Noticing a lack of representation at the time, he decided to make the character Tejano, believing that the Mexican-American youth needed a superhero of their own. With the help of his wife Jean, Relampago became a more well-rounded character embodying both Catholic and Mexican folklore.

As the character further developed, Judge Garza sent letters to Marvel and DC Comics telling them of his creation, but both companies showed little interest. Garza would try to get a listing in a comic pricing guide, but the publishers said the character was "too obscure"; the Judge decided to maintain the comic in a self-published print, becoming more of a personal project than a money-making venture. Garza published the first issue of Relampago in 1977. Only 1,000 copies of the original book were printed and many of them destroyed soon after due to concerns of possible copyright infringement, making it a rarity among collectors. Garza enlisted the aid of Sam G. Gonzales for the next two issues, all released in the same year with all publications coming to a halt soon after the release of the third issue. Several years the comic attracted the attention of Richard Dominguez, a Dallas illustrator, who found an issue of the comic in a half-price book store. Intrigued, Dominguez contacted Garza through his comic book shop and the two formed a close friendship.

At this time Relampago hadn't been in published print since its last issue in December 1977. Judge Garza had wanted to revive the series for some time and Dominguez offered his services as an artist. To prove himself to the Judge, Dominguez created his own comic book titled El Gato Negro in 1993. Garza realized how serious Dominguez was and agreed to collaborate on a new Relampago series with a planned cross-over issue featuring their respective heroes; this collaboration never came to be however, with the death of Judge Garza in 1995. Shot while robbing an elderly man's home, Marcos Zapata escaped from the scene of the crime wounded. Having heard of the dark arts practiced by La Bruja Mendoza, Marcos stumbled to the Mendoza's doorstep. Pleading for help, the young bandit died on her doorstep. Realizing an opportunity, La Bruja revived, she bathed him in special lotions, fed him bitter broths, applied herbs to his body. Soon after, Marcos discovered himself to be an "invincible man", having super strength, super speed, invulnerability.

His physical appearance changed as well, making him physically attractive. His life now belonged to La Bruja Mendoza. Believing he owed her that much, Marcos stole for the old witch, he grew tired of stealing and was intent on leaving the witch. Mendoza herself was brutally beaten by thieves intent on stealing her ill-gotten goods. Left for dead in her burning home, Marcos managed to save La Bruja Mendoza. In her final moments of life Marcos pleaded, "These powers, this strength, are these gifts permanent or are they only temporary?" But Mendoza's pain proved too great to bear, her last words being "The powers are as permanent only as..." The following week, Marcos would arrange a proper burial for Mendoza with the aid of a local church. Renouncing his checkered past, Marcos decided to use his new-found gifts for good, creating the alter ego of Relampago and fighting against crime. Relampago’s powers include superhuman strength, increased speed and agility, as well as near invulnerability; the extent of his superhuman strength and invulnerability are not known but he has been shown to stop a speeding vehicle with his bare hands as well as recovering after falling from tremendous heights.

While unable to fly, Relampago is able to leap to great heights and distances and has been known to use a grappling hook to scale tall buildings
